Most 8 to 14 year olds have played GTA IV (let alone any other GTA games). That is all.

A Reason why alot of games are rated so high theses days its cause of the graphics and effects. The fact they they look more and more real requires them to make a harsher rating.

the only parents that wouldnt get there kids M games are uptight ones who are like hell worried about what their chilren are exposed to.

i can understand this at like 8,9 and 10

but basically when a childs older than that, most parents dont worry about the M rating..


The US is far, far, far more strict on that kind of thing, its way mor laid back in Australia

Pay some bum to buy the game you want if the shop wont sell it to you then when you get home get the liquid paper out & cover the M & replace it with a E for Everyone LOL

I'm 16, i'll be turning 17 next March so no surprise for me. Besides that's one of the reason why i bought the PS3 because i knew it wouldn't have all those kiddy game that the Wii offers.

I am so used to the M17+ games that i keep thinking they are T rated games
