I was more for nintendo games for younger people because they do not have the violence that the other game platforms have.
2. I heard children as young as 6 saying they liked the games where they got to kill and see body parts fly around the screen.

As a result, I changed my major from programming to networking because I would be forced to make games that encouraged all of that stuff. I do not like blood and guts in a video game. Yes I do own several games that some may deem as violent: doom, resident evil, etc. But the games I like the most are about problem solving. I agree that violent games are ok when a parent is there to explain to the child right from wronge. But when I hear little kids saying they like to kill (even in a video game) I question what the parents are doing to say that killing is wronge.]]>Jul 2nd 2008 10:14PM
