Cain, I agree I didn’t really like Manhunt. The game that I really want to see in production is : The Elder Scrolls Online. It’ll be immense but they’ll need some super quality servers to pull it off.

To be honest completely pointless games like Manhunt don’t appeal to me or many of my friends, the whole point of the game is a tad pathetic and sickening (who comes up with the idea for that?).
The most annoying aspect is the fact that Rockstar fight for them to be brought out even though the average review of the game/s say they’re are going to suck and 9/10 times they do especially manhunt, completely pointless.
Don’t get me wrong I love GTA etc as they have a story worth playing and the depth in which the games go is impressive so I applaud Rockstar but as for Manhunt they should just stop making them, the Manhunt games suck and they should know it.

What are you going on about, so what if it says 18 on the package, it doesn’t stunt the childs growth or affect them at all, I was playing GTA when I was six (Oh yes, old school GTA) and I turned out fine, I mean, a game like Convicted or Manhunt, fair play, it scares the shit out of me and I’m 17.

Which leads me on to my next point, I’m 17 and feel that I should be allowed to play games that have a mature rating on them.

Anyway, this article was pointless, adults who arn’t mentally retarded and complete hippies will agree with me that an 11 year old can play an 18 year old game fine.

Personally I think it depends on the child, some children are mature enough to understand that it is a game, and can tell the difference between a game and reality. However, some are not…

Ok, starting off with the fact I’m 16 I’d like to express the other side of this argument because as I read through it seems to be pretty one sided.
Agreed the age ratings are there for a reason and these should be enforced to the hilt and that these games can in the odd case result in violent acts to society and that they can make kids ‘grow up’ quicker than they used to but you gotta think elsewhere, who’s more dangerous? The kid with the controller or the kid with alcohol on a street corner, yes we all know that alcohol has an age rating but the amount of drunken kids/teens causing damage to lives and property in the streets is far more common than Avid Gamer believes we will all respawn without the slightest hitch and the number of game related incidents are few and far between.
You can blame the parents of which in some cases is truthful and they are to blame but which parent is more irresponsible?
The parent who buys their kid a game to keep them occupied or the parent that lets their kid run amok in the streets.

I agree with this because I’m 20, almost 21.

So any rating won’t affect me. :> I like this train of thought, I have going on.

Dude.. totally freaken agree! it’s like said “grown up” (and i put that in quotes cos lets face it, sometimes they’re anything but) have a super brain fart, thing an just say: “oh my son and or daughter is mature enough to play this 18 and over game!” and then a few months later they get a hold of daddy’s shot gun and go on a shooting spree, shooting into on coming traffic and then when caught profess: “i didnt think anyone would get hurt… uh.. um.. uh.uh.. OH! i know!!!! i saw it in a video game? ! that gets me off right!??? ” (btw, that is taken from an actual news story i saw a while back… they didnt say “that gets me off.. but COME ONE!!! YOU HAVE A FREAKEN LOADED SHOT GUN YOU BASTARD!)

Makes me want to shake not only the parental-type; adult sized person that bought or mad it possible for these kind of kids, but the kid them self for being so freaken brain dead…

Kids do grow up way to quickly now, and given that most parents appoint TV as the ultimate babysitter is it any surprise that they find out about such thing as sex, drugs, and the like at such an early age…

maybe if more parents took an active role in beat.. er.. >_> monitoring what their kids watch and listen to we wouldnt have kids going “OMG! EMINEM TOL’ ME TO DO ITZ!” …

and with that… i give you this:
