This is the site I go to for all the info I need on games and I definatly recommend it.

The review of this website is complaining about how gamespot* puts violence in a positive role, yet is it not true that most of those games that contain violence are played FOR the violence? People play video games to escape reality and do things that they would or should NEVER do in real life. When a person plays a video game, they do not play it and become immoral fiends, but instead stay the same way that they used to be, whether this was inherently violent or shy and affable. Now, it would be rather obvious if a small child was playing a violent or sexually graphic game that they would not understand what they were seeing, but that is mostly due to the fact that they have not been explained to by their parents what all of it is. Due to this, I do not believe that small children under the age of eight or nine should be allowed to see it, but it is only because of the aforementioned fact. Another fact of the matter is that one thousand years old, everybody was surrounded by violence and immorality, yet they did not go insane and start killing people without appropriate reason. This is one reason why I believe that people who claim that violence in the media and entertainment is the cause for the corruption of the present youth are wrong. The reasons why these people kill others are probably that they either have psychological issues and serious developmental problems, or that they are being threatened by those around them and the instinct to survive takes over their minds. So, now come on and stop complaining about such pathetic things as advertising violence on a website because in the end, like this review, it makes no difference at all.
