Know what you mean about game ratings, went into Game..
the other week and there was some kid about 6 in there with his grandparents, the grandfather was trying to talk the kid into buying a copy of The Godfather (18, think it was for 360) because grandpa liked the film!
Still think that just to blame gaming for these incidents is an easy way out though, how many kids watch Eastenders and see shootings in that, watch 18 films with them in, listen to music where its glorified etc. etc. I've been gaming since the Atari 2600 and Speccy 48k up till the present and own a 360 and Wii as well as a PC used for games and have never felt the need to buy a gun and start shooting people (well, except for when my 360 blew up a few months ago and Microsoft tried to say it was my fault!!).
