10 games kids shouldn't play!!

[maccabee72]

I caught this list on CNN.com. Just wondering what everyone else thinks of the games they listed. Here's the link:

Personally, outside of the exploding heads and forced suicides, I thought Psi-Ops was very child friendly :D

[greydemise]

didnt think halo 2 was bad...i dont even think it should have an M rating :-\...i mean, its blue blood..and its not like its graphic or nething (no extreme gore, no limbs flying about)..didnt have ne sexual stuff either..and as for the guy game..whos gonna buy it :-X!!!

[Death2Sanity]

These people need to realize a M rating is equivalent to a movie's R rating. Then there's not much they can say about the distinction between M and AO. It's the same as R and X.

[zionoverfire]

So its good to play Sly fox and learn how to steal and PoP is okay because your enimes are all made of sand?

My kids (7 & 6) play Halo/Halo 2 - I have no problem with it.

I have Mortal Kombat - Deception (got it with the Midway Treasures bundle a while back) but I'm contemplating selling or trading it in.

Other than that, my kids play just about everything I play - Ninja Gaiden, Fable, etc...

I believe my kids know the difference between right and wrong, they know it's onlly a game, and I limit their play time.

Halo 2 should be up their, cause it's not bloody or anything but it's like crack with multi-player. I got a friend in collage who never does his homework cause he's always playing online in Halo 2. It just gives kids a reason to be lazy.

Were's Silent Hill or something. That'll give kids nightmares. If I played SH when I was like 9 years old, I'd pee my pants.

good point,i mean really, i mean..changes in kid's behaviors (im sure) dont happen overnight.if a parent were doing his or her job, and noticed their kids behavior changing..they should do sumthing about it :-\..i think video games do have the potential of altering someones behaviour (especially a child, since their soaking everything in , and at a young age, develop behavior patterns), but parents also have the ability to teach their kids the difference between right and wrong

I believe you sir are an intelligent person. Not because you let your kids play these supposedly 'violent' games, but because you have taught your children the differences between right and wrong.

I think there should be more adults such as yourself that don't let Oprah and Dr. Phil run your life. Too many Americans let ESRB and movie ratings rule their life.

This is crazy! If there was any game that a kid shouldn't be playing, it would have to be RTX Red Rock....why, oh why did I have to spend 7 dollars on that paperweight!!

Mario should be banned. Murdering giant mushrooms is very violent, not to mention Mario and Luigi's princess-saving antics are an insult to all Italian American plumbers.

[Ugamer_X]

Gamespot shrewdly pokes at the story in this article...
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/11/23/news_6113877.html

Here's the website of the group with their statement on violent games...notice the mispellings and inconsistencies on their list(s).
http://www.iccr.org/news/press_releases/pr_jtstatement112304.htm

Besides, everyone knows MAVAV is the leading source for censorship in videogames. :D

[Scrubking]

WTF??!!?

This is BULLSHIT!!!

San Andreas is so innocent that it makes paper Mario look like a snuff film.

[tornadomann]

did anyone else notice the advertisement on this page? Its for Resident Evil Outbreak which is rated M. I find that kind of funny!! Nice ad placement by someone!

[6669]

Its things like this that tell us kids which games we want.

[Gothic Walrus]

How about kids don't play any M-rated games?

That's the easiest solution, and it's not like seven year old Billy needs to play GTA while he's that young. I don't believe the "video games create violence" crap, but kids don't really need to be exposed to that at that age.

[The Shiznit]

I have a 9yr old and his favorite games are Halo/Halo 2 and he also plays most of my games. It's all about how you raise your kids. People need to raise their own kids not let somebody else do it.

[pianoman3284]

I think this report is more for the parents who buy their kids GTA and then get pissed off that it's violent. If parents would just read the game rating on the box....

[Scrubking]

The whole violence on TV and video begets violence in real life is total kaka.

Tom and Jerry was my favorite cartoon (still is), and it had:

- dismemberment with knives
- shooting people
- beheadings
- biting
- Stabbing
- and a whole host of other violent acts

But you don't see people trying to ban that cartoon or loony toons either.

[Renzokuken]

My 7 year old cousin is only allowed to play rated E games, yet I still hear him impulsively saying "Kill Him/her".

[help1]

didnt someone already post this?

[Gauss]

Halo 2 shouldn't be up there, I mean its not really that bloody..

[Nirvanaguy777]

halo 2? i dont think thats so bad for kids

[whoknows]

I dont see anything wrong with Halo 2.
What should have been on the list though is Manhunt, and I mean on the reccomended list, because Manhunt has many educational things such as:

1. Learning New language for the younger kids.
2. That cutting off heads with wire isn't as hard as it seems.
3. You can use the heads to distract the enemy.
4. Plastic Bags are plentiful and can be used with ease to intimidate that certain someone that annoys you example: Your teacher gives you a bad grade on a test.
5. A shard of glass can be deadly.
6. Baseball bats can be used for more than just hitting baseballs.

There are many more. Manhunt is such an educational game :D

[Alpha2]

The reason Halo gets an M is for the massive amounts of gun toating, for god's sake itey even amped it up by including dula wielding.

First person shooters will ALWAYS get M because they're about running around shooting thousands of creatures of a general humaniod shape in one on one violance with glorious spurts of blood (regardless of color). The common held belief is that agressive behavior in these games is rewarded thus teachin kids it's better to shoot someone in the head than talk to them, this is wrong... School should be where the learn this lesson.

"Buh, whud abuht Mertroid Huh? tha's TEE!"

How many humanoids do you kill in that? MAYBE 10 or 15 over the course of the game unles you like walking in and out of rooms hundreds of times to refresh them. It dosent focus on how many "people" you can kill, it's about surviving the environment with the occasional vicious monster, which is why so many demand it not be called a simple generic FPS. Samus could defend all her killing activity as an act of self defense while Master chef is simply doing his job... which as a soldier is to indiscriminatly kill his enemies.

Frankly I dont know what anyone's getting upset about, A great deal of us here are old enough to buy these games for ourselves or atleast old enough to get past register monkees that dont remember to check ID. I agree kids should be playing these games unless they're mature which is the determination of the parent/guardian.

[ananag112]

I sent them a email a while back basicly telling them that the games on their list are really not that violent compared to what is on TV. I aslo told that ESRB is doing a fine job and I don't think they need anymore help. I never got a reply back from them. I spent a while writing it too. It was 3 pages long on MS word (single spaced).

That about wraps this thread up. Someone used the "video games games result in real violence" tagline as a marketing tool for selling some crappy Sega games, so the theory must be true. No need to research this one any further boys, case closed!

[alongx]

At work, I talked a mother into buying Halo 2 for her kid. It doesn't seem too bad to me to watch an alien get shot and what looks like a rainbow of paint spray across the wall.

GTA games I wouldn't let a kid play. One of my younger cousins flipped out on me because I made him leave the room while I played GTA with his older brother.

[sisco1986]

I can see why these games aren't suitable for kids, but if your a parent and go by these rules like it's the law then your pretty stupid. As a parent you should know what your kid can handle and what he/she can't. I don't see all the damn up roar about M rated games, I don't see little kids going to see R-rated movies, or little kids buy packs of smokes or drinking beer, you know why? Because there enforced laws against it, if they ENFORCE the ESRB rating soccer moms would have nothing to bitch about, but they want to band violent video games or sexually explicit games all together, they need to take a reality check pill, Turn on the news, flip through channels, watch a few commercials, go to your local malls, sex and violence is all over the damn place. So unless your kid lives in a plastic bubble there going to take notice regardless if you try to shelter them or not. and for you under 18 gamers I understand how this would screw you over if they Enforced the ESRB rating, but if your mature enough to play these games then your mature enough to ask your parents if its ok to play em (plus theres always a loop hole :wink: ).

[Rodimus]

Most games I played when I was a kid weren't violent, even though my parents bought games regardless of ratings. Even now the games I play aren't that violent, cause i think most of the violent games are just crappy.

[CrimsonGeist]

Halo? MGS3 would have been a better choice. There are plenty of worse M rated games out of those two though. YES, IM A CHEAPASS VETERAN! : :D

[Kelcey]

My parents let me play whatever I wanted to when I was little. That included mortal kombat and doom (even though I didn't care too much for them). I haven't done anything pathetically stupid BECAUSE of a game. If a kid is gonna do something stupid, it's not gonna be because of the game... it's gonna be because he/she's screwed up.

[punqsux]

kids should play games like halo and other fps's, that way they have a refrence point for when they grow up and have to go kill people in other countries.

[CaseyRyback]

I was just wondering... how come we always hear about kids immitating violence because of games, but we never hear of kids getting traumatized cause of scary games like RE or SH?

[Trakan]

I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think that the parents and only the parents should decide whether or not their kids can play certain games.

[sisco1986]

I was addictited to Mario Bros 3 as a kid (9-10 hours non-stop every day) and hell I didn't walk into a bank and say "FREEZE! I have the magic star and I'm not afraid to use it!". Nor have I screamed "GET OVER HEREEEEEEEE" and thrown a garden hose out of my hand and wacked my friend in the face with it. :roll:

[spyhunterk19]

"What kind of movies did they watch? What video games did they play,? What music did they listen to? Whatever Happened to Just being CRAZY?!?!"-Chris Rock

[phammerz]

i agree some games aren't suitable for kids, but stuff like halo 2, come on....halo 2 is too fake

[RELmajor03]

Here's my take on this:

It's human nature to want to explore humanity's dark side. Long before there were video games, there have been books, plays, operas, music, etc. about things that are "bad". It's the reason everyone cheers for Richard III in Shakespeare's play of the same name. It's the reason American Psycho got turned into a movie. This whole ESRB thing is about as productive as banning books was.

If anything, I'd rather have people actualizing their desire to experience the "dark side" by playing games. At the end of the day, at least games never hurt anyone. True, gaming seems to be a popular scapegoat these days, but the fact is, games don't cause violence anymore than Marilyn Manson caused Columbine (something else the pundits tried to allege not too long ago). It's very easy to observe A and B and say that A caused B, but it's also a serious logical fallacy.

At the same time, I don't think every game is appropriate for everyone. Specifically, if you've got kids that are really into guns and violence and think the answer to all their problems is to shoot the bad guys, then they shouldn't be playing games that reinforce that belief. If a parent hasn't properly taught a child that real violence hurts real people and has real consequences, then that child shouldn't be playing games that glorify violence. Parental involvement, and not a bunch of letters on game cases, is what keeps kids on the right path.

[alpo845]

Hahaha...Free advertising for those 10 games.

[soulwish2003]

It seems like you have a grasp on things. You play the games so you know what is good and what is not.

I don't like seeing 7/8 year olds playing Hitman, GTA, Dead To Rights... and I do have coworkers that have no problem buying them.

My kids (7 & 6) play Halo/Halo 2 - I have no problem with it.

I have Mortal Kombat - Deception (got it with the Midway Treasures bundle a while back) but I'm contemplating selling or trading it in.

Other than that, my kids play just about everything I play - Ninja Gaiden, Fable, etc...

I believe my kids know the difference between right and wrong, they know it's onlly a game, and I limit their play time.

[starboyk]

Where the hell's 'the suffering' on that ruddy list?

Crack-ass smacktards smoking the wrong end of a tail pipe.

[guessed]

Hmm, which response to this "coalition" is more appropriate, "yup", or "duh"?

Someone should provide them with a list of the rest of the 'M' rated games, it would save them quite a bit of work.

[MaxBiaggi3]

as for the guy game..whos gonna buy it :-X!!!

I understand that CheapyD recently acquired a personal copy. :roll:

[epobirs]

Hahaha...Free advertising for those 10 games.

Yep. It's even funnier when an activist group gets up in arms about some product that hasn't done much business and creates enough curiousity to make it a hit. 'Married With Children' was on the verge of being cancelled when the idiot Terry Rakolta went on a campaign to tell everyone what a horrible affront to all human decency the sitcom was. Suddenly the name was in the news a lot and people might never have seen the show were tuning in and liking it. It went on to become one of the longest running sitcoms in broadcast history.

[epobirs]

Watch out! He has a dula!

[epobirs]

Remember that idiotic story last year about the Canadian kid whose mother said he was traumatized by a bus banner ad for Prince of Persia? We all agreed he would be more traumatized in the long run by having his name in newspapers all over North America in a manner effectively declaring him to be a pussy.

[DaleNixon]

I think the list is, for the most part, right on. Ultimately it's up to the parents though to determine what games their kids are mature enough to play. The same goes for movies, music, etc.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

As someone else stated, I have no idea why this group narrowed it down to 10 games. There are way more M rated games that are worse than the ones on their list. Maybe they could better waste their time compiling a list of T rated games that they don't believe should be rated Teen. Like the Harry Potter games since they deal with witchcraft. :wink:

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I know, but Alpha spelled it wrong. He meant "doula wielding." I haven't played Halo2 yet, but it seems as if they have gone in a new direction. I didn't realize that Master Chief needed someone to help him with the birth of his child. Hell, I didn't even know Master Chief was going to have a baby!

Tom and Jerry was my favorite cartoon (still is), and it had:

- dismemberment with knives
- shooting people
- beheadings
- biting
- Stabbing
- and a whole host of other violent acts

But you don't see people trying to ban that cartoon or loony toons either.

Sure, they tried. For most of the 70's cartoons were utterly neutered. Characters who had been mortal enemies were now pals seeking non-violent solutions to other's problems. Sealab 2021 uses an example of 70's cartoon lameness as its source material.

The 80's got weirder. There was a return to real action but somehow hardly anyone ever got hit by the immense amount of weapons fire going around. The characters would possess the capability of immense mayhem but never brought it to bear against any living being.

Sometimes you couldn't even beat up a non-living being. Marv Wolfman (creator of Blade and the popular version of Teen Titans) once regaled a dinner gathering I attended with some of his experiences with network censors. While working on a Superman cartoon series he wrote a script in which Supes destroys a giant humanoid robot by smashing through its torso. No big deal, you'd think. But no, Superman can't be shown doing that because Superman can't kill. "Kill?" asked Marv, "It's a walking toaster, a machine." No, he was told, it was in the shape of a human being and therefore had a soul. That absurdity left Marv so dumbfounded he was ready to agree to anything to get away from this lunatic.

Joe Straczynski (B5) did a lot of cartoon work, too. He once got into an argument over a reference to the Necronomicon in a Ghostbusters script. The censor would allow it because it was, in his belief, a real book. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows H.P. Lovecraft invented it in the 1930's but no amount of corroborating support from professional scholars would shake this guy's beliefs. Joe had told the network he would quit if this ever happened and he did.

[MaxBiaggi3]

Hahaha...Free advertising for those 10 games.

Yep. It's even funnier when an activist group gets up in arms about some product that hasn't done much business and creates enough curiousity to make it a hit.

This brings about the obvious question of where this group got its information. Did they actually rent/purchase and try out these "bad" games (in which case they contributed to these games' financial success), or are they speaking out of ignorance (without having ever actually tried any of these games)? Either way, they're a bunch of hypocrits. If parents are concerned enough about what their kids play to read this garbage, these same parents are probably also knowledgeable enough to know and monitor what their kids are playing on their own.

[Mr.Answer]

Boy I'm so thankful that they came up with this list, cause I was just on my way out to my Leisure suit larry and GTA/SA for my 5 and 8 year old.

Thank you National Institute on Media and the Family, you just saved my kids!

Thank you so much for without your tireless work and insight I would have never known what an inappropriate game for my children might be.

[stag8603]

i went to that link with the worst games. i read the front page article and it says in the 4th or 5th paragraph "AO games are described as games with graphic depictions of sex and/or violence. Rumble Roses is one of these games." WTF?!?! You wrestle as scandily clad women in bathing suits.. Or am i completely off target. maybe i am but i dont think halo 2 is that bad, either. they forgot about games like Manhunt, Suffering, and other survival horror or incredibly violent games.

Welcome to 3 months ago.

[stag8603]

yeah, but it seemed weird then, too.

[lordxixor101]

I think Halo 2 makes the list because of how popular it is. I'm sure when it came out, it was the talk to the school yard for a week. Most kids with an Xbox are going to want it. Now, it is an M game about killing, so in some ways, it should be thought about before you let your kids play. That being said, I watch my nieces and nephews, and if my 5 year old niece wanted to play Halo, I would let her (though, she's throughly addicted to Ape Escape 2 right now).

I played through 75% of Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas. I have no problem with that being on the list, but I don't think it deserves an AO rating. AO should be a porn video game, if SA was a movie, no one would be arguing that it should be an NC-17 or worse. It would be an R.

[daschrier]

Anyone else scratching their head on how Prince of Persia is a recommended game for kids????

[oleander]

PoP:SoT didn't seem so bad, but it seemed to me they could have been a little more specific about which one....

[Mookyjooky]

Another thing they should put up there is having your 7 year old online.

Nothing I love more than talking about Having sex with a legless vietnmese 13 year old with such a massive case of vagininosis that it looks like I'm diping my dick in a bowl of cottage cheese. Then, being that she's legless....I spin her around a few times while shes on and when Im about to jizz I stand up and throw an ounce and a half of throat yogart in her hair right before a quick donkey punch. I could get dirtier....but I dont wanna gross you out completely.

But I love getting into detail about stuff like this...kids are like sponges and they pick up stuff so quickly.

Now, if I'm playing a "E" for everyone game, I wont do this...but a "M" = Mature game...I love it. The parents buy little jimmie Halo2, so they dont have to watch their kid as they go have a night on the town or something. The whole thing is rediculous. I love corrupting kids who play mature online titles.

[-chaos-]

lol yeah this organizations are really crap they made my friends mom not want to buy him any M rated games!!

[MillerTime2523]

Here is what the parents shouldnt do: A) let the kid play the game without letting them know its wrong or B) completley shelter them from it and only say dont play that, dont go near that and so on. When a kid is shelterd from a killing game, they are more likely to want it more and more as they grow older, not knowing its wrong, and the same with just letting them play it. I think that you should let the kid play the game once in a while making sure they know that running down the streets gunning people down is the wrong thing to do. If everyone did that, none of this "Video game caused me to kill someone" would happen. As far as the top ten games go you talk about a "horrible game" what is the first thing you think of. For me it is certianly not resident evil outbreak or halo 2. Manhunt, the punisher, etc, are way worse than most of the games out their and they didnt even make the list. These people arent even gamers so how would they know what they are talking about? i mean really, you dont see too many aliens walking down the street with needlers and blue blood do you?
