You see for a minute there I actually though you where making a bit of sense. You always have to put your childish little digs in don't you?
Idiot
Perhaps the answer is to strict in the way they are disributed if you as an adult/parent are buying it for a person under the age stated on the box then you should be made to sign say a statement saying you will not let anybody under age play this game and be warned you could be prosecuted if found to be. Though scare tatics this would give a lot of people 2nd thoughts about doing such a thing.
Since games are a different media to film, etc, the people in charge don't know how to handle it. There also having a big "to do" about the net as well. Again, it's a new media, and it reaches everywhere.

The fact of the matter is that the people that should be held responsible are the ones that sell the games. I don't see any uproar about the amount of under 18's that go to see film's at the cinema that they are clearly not old enough to see and the same goes for video's, it should therefore be the same videogames. Each game comes with a Certified age and it is the parents responsiblity to see that there child is not playing games of this nature and keeping to childish nobrainers like Mario Sunshine.
What makes me laugh is Sony have no quarms in selling agame with graphic violence, drugs, muggings, car jackings etc etc. Yet when a game like BMX XXX comes along with a bit of nudity, they cut it.
I think you will find that only applies to the US version and that the UK has not been cut at all.

At last Bartender something we agree on, it is rather like shuting the gate when the horse has bolted, once something is a general release that is it because the censorship board have seen fit that we as the nanny state of Europe can play this game or watch a particular film.
Anyway ask yourself this if they banned Gta VC what about all the Gta3 games out there how do they justify selling that. The cartoony graphics are what saves Gta from being banned because it is seen a s unrealistic that is why they get away with violence in Cartoons. However this could prove to be a bigger problem for The Getaway which is realistic we will have to wait and see, depends on how gory it is.
