with jack thompson in this months games tm mag
reading it he actually makes a lot of sense
and says hes been misquoted on a few things in the past
but i found myself in agreement with 1 or 2 of the things he said
like games rated 17+ shouldnt be sold to under 17 year olds (just like here in the uk and most of europe,asia and australia)
and that parents need to make sure what their kids play is suitable
he also says hes not trying to ban mature games just not let impressionable minors get their hands on them
(why miners cant play games ill never know i mean if they can work down mines surely they can play games)

I couldnt agree more to be honest i mean there down a mine all day when the get home they need to relax and why should'nt they be allowed to do that?

I can't disagree more about banning mature games for minors... They should concetrate on guns, vioence and media. not Video Games. They should be looking at the few kids that video games affect mentally not us who are under 17.... I am 15 and play all the mature games i want to.... Im neither a violent or possesive person and I beleive that Video Games dont affect me in anyway during real world situations other than taking lots of my time...

Maka, you would disagree with it cause you are a minor ;)

Thing is, that the majority have to suffer to protect the minority of impressionable minds, that is how human nature and life works.

Not True.... If I saw myself as a parent I wouldn't mind my kids playing mature video games to a certain point... I wouldnt let a 10 year old play Hitman but once there 14 they can play almost anything they want... Unless I saw something wrong with my child I reallly wouldnt mind....

i dont think stores should be able to sell games rated for 17+ to people under 17, but if their parent walks in and hands the guy at the register hte money theres really no problem because they then know that the game is rated for people 17+. it tends to piss my mom off when she had to walk into the store everytime i want to buy a game though.

dawebb how about a pwned gif, its owned though, but same thing

Ha ha!!! Nice, that made me laugh then when I read it :D

Cheers. Being two of my anticipated games I would like to get the ball rolling on them :D

Also, while we're in the mood for creating boards...

How about one for Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - Caption "The most complete football game the world has ever seen"

Thats my quote. It will be a huge game in Europe and Asia. Looking like a fourth quarter release as well. Cheers :)

Run got pwned again. Surprise surprise :roll eyes:

PE6 will kick ass- and if you struggled with FIFA youll really struggle with PES lol.

ANd on subject- when stuff like Columbine happens- they blame either Marilyn Manson or video games. I know i get more aggresive with games then when with MM, so guess they got it right lol

In regards to PE6, I agree totally. It should be a great game, especially after all the hype I've been hearing about the game. Looking forward to it. :Bounce:
