While not a therapist, Brian Clevinger (author of 8-Bit Theater) opposes efforts to censor video games. He is critical of parents who fail to involve themselves in their children's lives. He argues that it is the parents' disinterest that hurts the intellectual development of children. Clevinger believes video games are just a convenient scapegoat: "It's not my fault my kid doesn't know the difference between right and wrong, or fantasy and reality, it must be those darn video games I kept buying him in lieu of parenting."

I feel sorry for the Europeans who wanted this game. Now they'll never even have the chance to buy it (although they could still import it from North America for about 20% more).

 

Hey parents' date='

 

No one is forcing you to buy this game. And there is a freakin' rating on the box. :x

Parents are not always the only way kids get the games, sometimes they have friends who are old enough to get the game that buy it for them, or they have friends who give them the game after they get tired of it, I believe kids should not play these sort of games it makes violence seem like nothing, I'm not trying to sound like one of those "Video Games are the reason behind all our violent crimes" people but I really just don't like games like Manhunt.

But there parental locks on game systems. So even if a small kid gets a game, if you're a responsible parent, you can still make it so they can't play the game.

 

And this may sound a little off topic, but how is volence more socially accepted than nudity? I mean really. They are allowed to show blood (and gore in some cases) and stuff like that in PG-13 movies, but once there is nudity, (depending on what it is) that movie instantly becomes R or even NC-17. Like the deleted scenes in Texas Chain Saw Massacre. That movie has an R and an Unrated version. It was Unrated because it showed stuff like people getting impalied and then sliced in half by a chain saw. But if a movie as nudity, (most of the time) it is also Unrated.

 

Also in games. For The Guy Game it was, oh no! Breasts! BREASTS!! OMG!!! MUST TAKE OUT OF STORES IMMEDIATLYYYYYYY!!!!!1!!!1! And now for Manhunt 2. oh no! BLOOD!!!! GORE!!!! VIOLENCE!!!! OMG!! BAN! BAN!!! MUST NEVER BE PLAYED BY ANYONE!!!!!!(in Europe)
