Thanks

Some people lose the control of playing games like me i dont get agressive in games tekken 4 for is great and other action/adventure/racing games but manhunt and hitman shooting games pshycs power games rated (18) are not to be given with out their parents.

yes but did u start running into peoples houses looking for items and randomly attack people calling them fiends?

Weird thing is, I got so obsessed with Final Fantasy X that I actually started dreaming about it, the same thing has happened with various other games, it's really freaky.

TIP - If you want to have freaky dreams then takes lots of cod liver oil tablets, eat a lot of mature and then watch the original Ring and Battle Royale 1.

i now enter a building and silently kill one person then sneak back out without getting caught, hitman was a great training game it really helped improve my skills as an assasin ;-)

and have you shaved your head , had a barcode tattoo'd on your neck and started dealing death to people in return for cash yet then ?

Well, a while back I got Hitman 2. That really gets the mind working as a trainned killer. Not really what the parents want there kids thinking about, you know "how can I get past the guards on the front gate to pop a cap in that mafia bosses ass?" or "If I kill that pizza guy I can nick his uniform & get past the metal detector."

Lots of things can promote violence. Even magic tricks. A complete fool of a magician once did a trick with a knife infront of kids. All im gonna say is that one boy's sister was buryied with a knife wound through her head a little later on. Sometimes games can just be the easy answer for violence and stupidity etc.
