    Every comment in that "article" essentially boils down to this:

    This is something that can be done in the game "I want to do that in real life"

    Do these people read a book, and every sentance say "I want to do that"? It's beyond the worst thing I've ever read.

    "After reading that article I find myself wanting to never read again." that quote stacks up exactly as well as any he said, the complete simpleton.

    as for me well I grew up when games didnt have age restrictons..doom .....resident evil

    Are you just making this up or what? Games have had age ratings for a very long time. For good reason.

    Doom - BBFC rating of 15s.

    Resident Evil BBFC rating of 15s.

    I think the first 18s rating given out by the BBFC for a game was as far back as 1986.

    As liberal as I am, and even if there is no direct connection between viewing violent media and commiting such acts, there is something not right about allowing a 5 year old to view any 18s rated content.

    Maybe older kids (I certainly remember the buzz in doing fatalities in Mortal Kombat when I was 11 or 12). But 5? Seriously?

    Oh brilliant, so little kids get to play a violent game in a non-violent matter, meanwhile time spent on making sure it's ok for little tykes is tima taking away from making the game better for the proper audience... Fantastic.

    Pokemon are oriental demons and Minecraft while not evil is addictive and distracting.

    I love one of the comments on youtube

    "Pokemon = satanic demons..."

    "Names of actual demons: Jigglypuff."

    I gotta admit, that while I'm not under any illusion as to my abilities, I do look at large cathedrals/old buildings and look to plot out a path that Altair/Ezio could climb up, if they were to do such a thing! :pac:
