All Hail The King of Controversial Games This game is by far the most boundary pushing game in the history of video games. There is a reason why this game is called a murder simulator and a terrorist simulator, because that is what the core of this game is all about, murder and terrorism. You play a character named Nico Bellic, who used to be with the Serbian Army. He moves to America to track down a traitor and ends up cleaning up his cousins messes through any means neccesary. In this game you can do alot of sick things, such as shoot an old lady in a face, carjack innocent people, kill cops, steal, and blow things up. In this game you can kill and destroy with very fake consequences. It's not a suprise why this game is boycotted by plenty of groups, and is not sold to minors. This game is indeed a murder and terrorism simulator, but honestly, that is what makes it as fun as it is. It is quite possibly the best stress releif someone who owns video games can ask for. As for cases that directly involve this game, in every case, it involves unsupervised kids, and that isn't a generalization. EVERY case involves it. A kid by that age should know that it is quite impossible to enter a cheat code in real life, get a plethora of weapons, and go on a shooting rapampage and cripple the police force with minimal consequences. If they don't, you fail as a parent. Kids should not have this game. It is rated mature for a reason. Be a smart adult and limit your kids. But if they get thier hands on it, you do your job and teach them the dangers, otherwise there is nothing more you can do. Get off the game developers' backs because they aren't at fault. That is all there is to it.
I never played Grand Theft Auto myself (now I look like such a loser) but I HAVE seen my cousin play it. I am not a scientist so I cannot say for sure how violent video games such as this affect young children psychologically but I do know that there is a line that must be drawn somewhere.
