Well, I don't like this measure Walmart is taking to "protect" the kids, however I see a bit of logic in their actions. Currently (at least the Walmarts I've been in) won't sell a M rated game to a kid under 17, however parents buy it for them all the time; and I believe Walmart is assuming that most of these parents have no idea that the game is M or maybe that they are uneducated enough to understand the reasons for the rating system (walmart shopper stereotype); therefore putting the cover will alarm the parents and stop them from buying such games for their kids.
It will be like: "little Jimmy wants Grand Theft Auto IV, oh! but it has a cover just like the porn mag, I am not buying it, it must be awful!".
It is logical, however is stupid in that it interferes with a parents right to be a bad parent or interfere in a parents own judgment and replaces it with the corporation's judgment.
