It's already illegal? That's why they're rated 18, right?

I think the kids have a small part in it though, i know i always used to say to my mum "Oh its an 18 because of the difficulty etc".

Absolutely. But they're quick enough to blame the game when Little Johnny goes out and stabs someone in the eye with a kitchen knife.

It's just general ignorance towards games in most cases.

Parents say "oh it's just a game!" then buy it, and let their kid play it however they like on their own in their room. But would that same parent let their kid watch an 18-rated film on their own as many times as they like?
Indeed not.

Well, what can you say?

Fining the shops is a half-arsed attempt. Fine the parents, too.

Only a few days ago, my cousin and his wife were talking about their son playing San Andreas. He's only 13/14. And unlike some kids who may get away with buying the games, he doesn't look anywhere near 18. So one of them obviously bought it for him.

Basically new packaging that is really clear that they are violent games.

I think having them come wrapped in blood soaked bandages(sp?) would make it clear.

"Unlike movies where you passively watch violence, in a video game, you are the active participant and making decisions on who to stab, maim, burn or kill," said Assemblyman Yee. "As a result, these games serve as learning tools that have a dramatic impact on our children."

Right, because violence didn't exist before computer games.
