I think. They need to do a better job educating parents about video games. I am sure as many of the early gaming generation has grown up its quiet aware. In 30 years time it will be a different story but as they say. Focus on the here and now. wonderfully written that kind of ties into Matthew’s “playing violent games doesn’t make me a murderer” article. I think.

A shop shouldn't have to do their job for them. If a parent is giving money for a kid to buy a game, they should know what the kid is getting. It is also the responsibility of the parents if they wish their kid to play older rated games, to teach them that what happens in a game isn't reality and you can't do such things in real life. I played games with guns and such as a kid and I never for once thought it was ok to shoot someone in real life. I think that it’s the parents who should be keeping an eye on it.
