"Why do you WANT to kill kids?"
Seriously, the only reason gaming gets away with homicide is that the people getting killed are always evil men... what a selling point killing scared children would be. Imagine that on the back of the box:
"Get to murder small children violently!"
Seriously, how could the game industry defend itself from accusations of mind warping violence with THAT?

I would like to point out a very important detail about killing kids in video games. i do not know if anybody has mentioned this because I didnt read all these post but here it go
IN FALLOUT 1 and 2 for the PC.. YOU COULD KILL LITTLE KIDS, HAVE SEX WITH HOOKERS, BECOME A PORNSTAR, ALL WHILE COMMITTING MAS GENOCIDE

Maybe they should set every game in the past, like MGS3, and any time a kid dies it turns out they were important in some way to your story...
Because if we could those people who say that video games are bad and too violent will have some hard evidence to eradicate games forever.
The existence of this thread proves how fucked up we are as a society. Granted, in fallout 1 & 2, you could kill little kids, but graphics were so low-tech and games weren't that big of a thing to bring public attention to.
Now, we have graphics that look more real than reality itself, it's obvious that REALISTICALLY killing children would cause extreme media uproar, calling this game "disgusting, disturbing, and outright wrong," and they would be right. Society has made children untouchable. It's why Chucky is more creepy that Jason Vorhees. The girl from the ring more disturbing that Freddy Krueger. Children are seen as a beacon of hope in a time of war, poverty, and worldwide despair. Destroying that beacon would either make people think that this game has crossed the line, or that our line needs to be redrawn. This would result in either a game that can't legally be sold, or games where we can have graphic rape in them. Hey, if realistically shooting a child in the head and seeing it be blown to smithereens is okay, then why not other disturbing and sick crimes?
In short, it's more of an unwritten rule. Currently, there are no legal laws in place that say that someone can't make such a game. This game, if made, wouldn't find a publisher. Six Days In Fallujah was dropped, and that just depicts adults killing each other.

eradicate games forever? i disagree.. $$$ will always win, as long as people like you and I are willing to buy these game there is nothing anybody can really do.
also last time i checked the "video games made me do it" defense doesn't work and still gets you sent to jail
also if the columbine event was caused by excessive video game playing why would they have committed suicide. i would say that no game every ended with the main character offing him or herself but i dont know.. but we can all agree that it is not a common theme in video games
so to end this all video games do not = violence, bad parenting does
If it involved butchering small, unarmed children (in slow motion cinematic style, Fallout 3 ftw 
) then it would most likely be banned in several countries, which would decrease sales.

its a whole censor thing I guess. I do admit. the kids in fable do get annoying. but it is good enough to me that you can beat the hell outta them =)
You could kill kids in the Nintendo 64 game "Body Harvest". They come running out of the school and everything... I remember that clear as day! And, dont quote me on this, but I think the Developer was Rockstars oldschool name.
