Watching my five year old nephew playing better at Manhunt then me. (Sniff) I taught him so much.

And this is why there's so much controversy when games like Manhunt are released. 5 year old's should even't look at this game. 

 

Not if your goal is to raise an assasin!

I know you're trying to be funny and probably you just wanted your nephew to have a good time while gaming with you. 

But these are the cases that then lead to games being discriminated and nitpicked in the social media.

Anyway, i'm not trying to impose anything on you, you do as you see fit. I just think that manhunt isn't a game for five year olds, no matter how "well" they deal with it. Children of that age have no psychological development to discern reality from fiction, so there is no way to determine what he will learn from them.  

Truthfully, he only played the game for a minute and it was a younger brother who gave him the controller, but I dont think that short of exposure would harm a child from such a short experience.  

Yes, adults sould keep very young children from great exposure to such violent games. Yet, the media would complain about certain games just to make an interesting story or arguement to get viewers. They really don't care about the isssue they just want viewers/money.

I am a psychology major and I took developmental psych were they talk of this and I think short exposure leaves little signigficant results to a young developing mind. Still I'm no expert.

We better not seriously derail this guy thread. LOL

It's fine, I like civil discussions so please continue. I personally think that violent video games are the last thing we should worry about, I took my son to see Madagascar..why the hell is the camera focusing on a hippo shaking her ass?
