i really dont care if kids do play such games, if and when a kid of mine starts doing wierd things like shoving a grenade up someones butt, then i take action. but really. the ESRB ratings are a little too harsh on games nowadays, and they only replace those old ones since the times of 1993 and back then because of gory and violent games like Mortal Kombat 2...which i played when i was 4...and always lost...lol, but really, games dont affect the minds of kids unless they are exposed to it, WAY too much
