These are games i think will do really good

I gave my GTAIV disc to a 9yr old girl, who doesn't do MP, and turns the sound off, but loves to just drive around.

I can understand how some people may think this game is excessively brutal because it is. It's sleazy, dirty, slimy, bloody, and a lot more but it's a mature game for that reason. I DON'T think kids should be playing it and if they are, their parents are
either clueless or neglectful. GTA5 is far from reality though, really. You'd have a very short real-life joyride if you decided to get into a real car in a real city and drive all willy-nilly, shooting, blazing through red lights and fighting random citizens.

^My point exactly. I play GTA: O very often, but do you see me on the news for taking out a meeting in a parking garage with a Little Bird Attack Chopper?

If you are the kind of person that will be effected by the content of games, then you should not play them. I would say the same thing about films or TV Shows with violence; if you think it may influence you to become involved in the lifestyle it portrays,
you should stay away.

People who join a gang, steal a car or kill someone because they saw it in game or on TV and though it was cool will end up in jail sooner or later anyway .

Well for starters its got that trivial preestablished rating for good reason. No I would not buy any M rated game for my children no matter how much they whined and begged, and any parent who already has, namely with any GTA title, has no business being
a parent. Secondly if you feel the need to ask such a question or even question yourself as to whether or not it affects any of your daily grinds on a morality compass, then maybe you shouldnt be playing said games to begin with. There are other more proactive
and or constructive things you can do with your time. I personally can run an entire 3 day marathon on GTAV, while just as easily put the controller down and spend time with my family just fine without feeling compelled to murder anyone for that matter. Its
just a game. meant to be played by mature gamers. nothing more. hense the M rating.
