what was your first mature-rated game?

[Mr. In-between]

GTA Vice City when I was around 10

Same, only I got a trilogy pack thing. I was around ten.

The fact that a ten year old was playing GTA Vice City makes me really, really hate modern society.

Let them have there fun with it, I had my fun and you probably did too.

No, I hate everything about Rockstar. Their games are terrible. The complete antithesis to what I find enjoyable.

Then, why not let them play it?

I'm not stopping them. I'm not their parents.

I just think that letting a ten year old play Grand Theft Auto speaks volumes about one's ability to be a good parent.

When I was 10 I'm preeeeetty sure that I knew just because I could kill people in a game doesn't mean it is in real life. It's the ones who know who play it.

There are many people out there who also believe that FOX is a legitimate news source with a high degree of journalistic integrity. Millions of people also watch reality television and actually care about celebrity gossip.

What I'm trying to say is: people are not that intelligent and while violent games don't make killers, is there any legitimate reason why a ten year old child should be exposed to that subject matter?

Yes, because I didn't go off and kill anyone just because I played GTA. You basically just said "children 10 and under may not have fun".

Except I really didn't.

All I said was that I think it's in poor taste for a parent to let a ten year old child play a game that glorifies criminal behavior.

First game I played...

Probably Doom when I was maybe around 6 or so. Nightmares ensued.
(Thinking back, 8-bit nightmares is a weird concept)

Resident Evil 2 when I was about 6
