You gonna come n arrest me for buying it for his b"day? lol he has been playing fps games since he was 7 he is 10 now, he is prestige level 10 in codmw2, if I thought it was over gory then i wouldnt let him play but its no diff from the other one.

Would you let your son watch nightmare on elm st or Texas chainsaw massacre?
Their both 18 certificates

In my day, we had a white dot that moved from one side of the screen to the other that we had to intercept with "bats" - vertical white bars.
We thought that was fantastic.

I unwittingly went into Asda at midnight last night for a loaf of bread after buying fuel, to be met just inside the store with about 300 salivating grubby looking youths clutching lottery tickets. I wondered if I should ask for a ticket in case it was for something good but didn"t dare ask anyone coz I knew I"d be proven to be the town half-wit for not knowing.
Problem was would I have to stand at the back of a long queue with my loaf or what? So I wandered about still wondering when a message came on the loudspeaker, could all those holding tickets no 1-20 please approach the tills unless you"re wanting to trade in your option to buy then you need to go to customer service. Really it felt like another world. 1-20? Wouldn"t want to be stuck with no 300 without a sleeping bag! Anyways I eventually dared to ask when I got to the (open for half-wits) till what was going on, only she was just as bloody excited as the mob were and said it"s C O D, out tonight and btw it"s the first time she"d done a game night. Sigh. Fought my way out and looked it up on t"internet when I got home where it felt a bit safer to ask.
Hope it"s worth it :)

That"s no way to talk about Wayne!!
Middle-aged I"d say.

I had the posh model. 4 games in 1.
tennis was one, as you describe and I remember one other that was squash where the bars were horizontal instead.

Atari Games -
PACMAN (My brother was awesome at it, like be on it for hours)
RIVER-RAID (I unofficially hold the world record for this - long story for another day!)

Kids play these games to ESCAPE the real world violence and cursing...IF COD is rated 18..what on earth is the school playgrounded rated these days!?? ::)

I loved Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum.
Todays games are a world apart from the stuff we had in the 70"s and 80"s - Amanda"s lad, Jonathan, has had me playing Modern Warfare 2, and I knew not what the hell was going on....

They may be rated 18 but cod is in no way anywhere near these 2 things u have chosen as an example.
COD does not appear18 and the blood and gore does not scare him at all, but he loves it, he doesnt go out to play much as he has a disability which a lot of the time prevents him from playing outside and can leave him on bed rest for days on end, and if it makes him happy and I see no change in his behaviour due to it then I see no harm in him playing it.

Don"t rise to it Mary, you"re his mum. Nuff said.
-
Sorry. Bad examples
Would you let him watch war movies such as platoon or apocalypse now with extreme violence, causalities of war which has gang rape or full metal jacket with suicide
IMO i wouldn"t let my kids anywhere near this type of game until at least 15+. Call me a miserable old bugger but certificates are there for a reason.
I"ve played and enjoyed these games for the last 15 years and I believe that even though they"re not damaging or can evoke violent actions or emotions I still believe it"s not right for younger gamers to play these types of games
I once had a full blown argument in GAME when I saw a woman buy her 10 or 12 ish year son GTA vice city on realease day. I asked her if she knew that the game she bought her 10yr old boy was an 18 and she said - Ach it"s only a game. I then said - "well in that game your young boy can steal a car and then pay a prostitute for sex then murder her with a claw hammer! Would you let him watch a movie like that?"
She then shouted at me that it was none of my business (which it wasn"t) but I know I"d never let my kids experience that type of game before their the right age

I think you"ve hit the nail on the head there...opinion! Surely it is up to each and every individual parent to decide what is and is not suitable for their children. All kids are different and some will play those types of games twice and go on a violence rampage, others will play them from a young age and not be affected. I can safely say that I am sure Mary has enough intelligence to judge whether or not her son is affected by these games!!
-
I neither doubt or cast judgement on Marys intelligence or her parenting skills. I"m sure she knows what her son is involved with and experiencing
But 10 is too young, in my opinion only, to be playing an 18 cert game and I"m pretty sure she wouldnt want her son watching 18 cert movies. Alot of the time, Video games get glossed over by parents and guardians as many think it"s just a game and what harm can it do.
Sorry if I come across pedantic and preachy, I don"t mean to. And as I said I"m certainly not besmarching Marys parenting habits or skills

Apparently that is after all what u r doing, solely seeking to continue to lecture me. I have no further opinion on the matter, I know my own son
-
Oh and fwiw, I would never let my son play gta, there is a huge diff between that and COD
-
Don"t rise to it Mary, you"re his mum. Nuff said.
Thanks hun

IMO there is no reason this should be an 18+ game anyway. Yes there is shooting computer generated people, and a little bit of blood, but there is no real gore at all.
To compare it to games like GTA or anyting of the sort is not righ in my opinion. There is no way a 10 year old is going to go and grab a gun and start rampaging after playing this game without underlying roblems.
ANd as Mary says, it is probably a good thing in this situation anyway. She is in contorl by the sounds of things (i know, you said you acknowledge this :) )
on a side notek, my PSN name is foghorn0leghorn and i will probably be on it from 4pm til some time friday morning if anyone wants a game :D
-
Im gonna buy a PS3 for myself from kids for christmas (little indulgence I never spend my poker winnings on meself usually the kids n family), I used to play COD when it first came out on the PC was in clans lol was pretty good for a gal, but since taking up poker I stopped, I fancy playing it again lol and also its got a blueray player so its a good excuse to get one.

I bought my Spectrum to write games on, after writing games for my Ohio Superboard II. Unfortunately I got drawn into the existing games for the Spectrum, so never got to grips with the Z80 processor :(
One of my close friends, at the time, had a game published for the Dragon computer - I think it was called Screaming Abdabs, a platform game similar to Manic Miner.

The good old days when you needed a tape recorder to load your games
Manic Miner was one of the best
Tron was also a great game
Then came along Sega
