"Under-aged gamers"

I was at my local computer store yesterday, just looking around, and this child aged 10-12 walks in, with his mum, and askes for GTA3, his mum buys it for him without even checking what the content is. I think parents should be more careful about the material they show their children (especially the hooker thingo in GTA3). I'm not saying the game is evil or anything, but parents should monitor what their child plays, considering he was at least 6 years too young. Any comments?

yes. i did too

Yea they would need major help, I mean I'm not old enough for 18's, yet I still play (and enjoy) the GTA series of games(+others). But you have to admit, the BBFC are wasting money censoring games when no-one takes any notice.

yeh im being serious they do need to go to get some help before they go on a rampage

I'm being serious, but that is probably true. (Couldn't tell wether you were being sarcastic or serious. I'm about as sharp as a rolling pin ;-)

lol ;-) I get your point, but what happens if there is a kid that can't tell the difference between fiction and the real world? Don't laugh, it has happened.

yeh its better to get busted on a game then to get busted in real life my mum says to my nan i happily bought him the game because he knows not to do it in real life. which bits is she on about?

I'm 12 and i like to play things GTA3 and MGS.There my my favourite kind of games, and i like them coz i can do things like steal cars and run over people and snap their neck which i cant do in real life.
