Ok here is my attempt at winning GAD.
Do people really take notice of the age rating on games, are sure you don't as many of you have probably a horror game, like Resident Evil series, and these games have a age rating, for instance Resident evil games have a age 18+ age rating, so this is saying that we should not be able to buy these games if we are under that age.
I mean its not like after playing Resident Evil we are gonna go out buy a gun and start shooting people that look like the dead. (It would be fun though) but we just wouldn't do that.
Most games though have a age 15+ for swearing in games like Metal Gear Solid, which to me is stupid because I am sure that everyone will agree that we have all seen a TV programme with swearing in it, whats the big deal, everyone swears from time to time.
The age ratings to me are stupid for some games, take for instance a wrestling game, they have about a 15+ on them because of the weapons, fighting and stuff like that, I mean all my friends have got Smackdown 1,2 or they have No Mercy, me I have Smackdown 1, 2, and getting WWF Smackdown: JBI.
People are thinking that games influence that much that we are gonna get a gun after buying a game with a gun or some other kind of weapon and start being a crazed phsycopath. GAMES DO NOT INFLUENCE US THAT MUCH!
The point is that nearly everyone has probably got a game that is over their age limit according to the age rating on games and people should stop thinking that games make us crazy and enjoy gaming.
I hope SR noticed this and i hope you all agree with me, feel free to disagree

I bought all the others myself, though.
The people who run Choices VideoGames in Norwich do. I wasn't allowed to buy Perfect Dark, so I got my dad to get it.
They don't take any notice anyway. even if you are about 9 and its a 15+ game.
I'm 13, but several people mistake me for a 18 year old due to my height.
I know I agree shops don't take notice and no one has disagreed yet that the games ratings are ridiculous
No, I suppose I don't really take much notice.
I sometimes look at the rating to see how much gore there is likely to be, but thats about it.
I dont think games ratings maean much, they are so inconsistent, like Turok: Rage wars is only a 15, yet PDark is an 18!
Ridiculous!

I take no notice and I don't think shops do either. They ask you your age but if you just say 18, they don't care. They give it anyway. Even if you are blatantly not 18.
See what I mean like Gaming Boy says and others will say all us lot hardly take any notice of the games age rating.
I take no notice of them as I am older than 18.
