They're not supposed to BUY them. As long as their parents allow them to, they can play whatever they damn well please.

EDIT: You're the same age as me for christ's sake. Are you basically saying you think you shouldn't be allowed to play Call of Duty?

Well it's different for us, i'm obviously more mature than an 8 year old, who shouldn't play shooters anyway. Maybe, i should of said people should follow the age rating better than they do, like a 16 or 17 year old can still play an 18+ game, but not someone who's 5 or something like that. If you are young enough to believe anything, you shouldn't play violent games

It depends on how well the child has been bought up and the game really. I very rarely see a game that I don't think would be suitable for someone under the age of 13. Violence in movies is far more graphic and realistic than it will ever be in games in my opinion. I've been playing games like Resident Evil since I was 4, I would happily let my kids do the same.

I do agree with you, but they are some games that young kids shouldn't play at all. Like Dead Space or Slender, there's no way a kid should play those games at all. Those games are actually fucking scary at times. But anyway, they might as well have the chance to play the violent games out there if they want, i just wish people had the common sense to not make comparisions between video game violence and real violence.
