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?

 

I've always compared the violence level of Halo to the level in Metroid prime. The only thing different between the two are the weapons and language. Killing alien creatures and the like is about the same. Considering I played Prime when I was 10 myself, I think Halo is alright for that age, I def wouldn't recommend it, but it isn't that harmful. 

(Personally though I found the Flood a lot scarier than Metroids)
