I can't believe they're getting upset over a handful of games out of all of the thousands of games there are out there. I want to punch someone right now.
umm... it's more about violence... GTA:VC, Mortal Kombat: Dark Alliance, and what I think is Halo... those are like the only games NBC showed...

And like the lady said... "Less than 50% of parents actually use the ratings system"... now who's fault is that?

"Videogames aren't just child's play anymore... The average gamer? 28..." And yet dumb politicians and crap act like it's kids stuff and they're like "KIDS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING THIS!"... If a parent doesn't care if the kid plays it or not, that's their decision, if a parent doesn't pay enough attention, that's their fault, if a parent looks at the ratings and still buys it, they either don't care or they're stupid...

The only thing the videogame industry or retailers could do is enforce the ratings... Should they have to tone it down? No... The biggest problem is the parents, IMO... *shrugs*
