Should be more like this...

Study: 89% of parents believe violent video games are a problem. Upon answering this survey 100% of those 89% went out and bought the brand new Halo for their child. One parent said while waiting in line, "This world needs more heros like Master Cheif to stand up for what is right."

Found out over Christmas my 9-year-old cousin plays Halo. Wanted to punch somebody. My uncle should know better, too, he's a gamer.

Of course, the kid also plays Kinect Sports, Mario Kart, and Pokémon. I'm sure he'll be fine. But come on... Halo? Really?

Yup, when my kid gets old enough I won't allow those kind of games. I like games that he would be able to enjoy to so instead of him liking what I like I will include myself with his games. 17 years old is a little extreme for these games in my opinion but preteens definatly don't need these games. I will probably start allowing them at like 14 or so. I don't want my kid being the shrill voice swearing at all the people playing online pissing everyone off and getting derogatory terms being thrown at him
