This does annoy me! They give it an 18 rating, so its the parents responsibility to decide if their children get to play it. If you want to play games like that you should have the freedom to: providing you are of legal age. I know the person in question here was 18 and would be of legal age in this country...but the likely posibility here is that he is a complete nutter who just wanted to kill someone for the fun of it - again down to the parents and most likely an unorthodox upbringing.

Whats next - stop making horror films incase people start to imitate zombies, and try to eat people? I dont think so

What has some Thai fruitloop got to do with all parents?

There isn't much proof between violent video games and violent acts.

In any group of people there are wackos and unfortunately some of them play video games. Some also probably garden, but I rarely see the headline that someone chopped off the head of a person to see if it is as easy as trimming a rose.

Just co-incidence and an opportunistic lawyer.

He says he was re-enacting GTA? well whenever I've car jacked in the game he just pulls the driver out and jumps in!?
Some people will blame anything except themselves!

I've just been playing Viva Pinata, it hasn't tempted me to go out and rear some animals.

*For the record, i haven't been playing Viva Pinata, altho rearing animals does sound fun*

Liar!!

I don't know why, when all games consoles ask you to sign in these days - that your date of birth isn't part of the process, and if you put a game in the console it would refuse to play it. Not foolproof by any means but it would be a start...

When parents set up an account for their child doesnt this then block any age related content?. You can also limit the time spent playing. I'm sure it does on 360, not something i've tried tbh.

yes - some ea games won't allow kid accounts online. I noticed it when trying to share NFS ProStreet blueprints with my son's account - He wasn't allowed access to the EA servers to use them.

So why not make the account creation process require a credit card to validate age, and then only that "admin" account to set up other profiles, entering date of birth - if a 12 year old then tries to plat GTA4 for example - it just gives him a family fortunes style "ne-ner!"
