I agree but isn't that down to the person not to be so gullible as to follow a computer game. However there is one game I will agree with you on and that is wrestling I see kids everyday trying to do the latest move to show off.

Offtopic but, I to hate rapists, paediphiles and murders. But the fear of that in our community due to computer games is nothing more than paranoia.

I dont know about where your from but here in the Uk an Outlet can be fined for selling Cigarettes and acohol to under age buyers, That may be an option to certificated games, ask for ID.

And to fight the parents buying these for kids, as with Cigarettes and alcohol, the buyer can be fined and in exstreme cases even jailed for purchasing specifically for a minor.

Those measures are not 100%, but with every law in the world, there are exceptions, but I think this is the next step, not an outright ban.

I agree with you to some extent but its not so much the gullible ones, more the unstable minded I think they are focusing their comments on here.

Yeah I agree but what can be done about that without banning the game.

I was born and raised in Argentina but I am living in Trinidad and Tobago where I personally find the laws are not reinforced in any way. I am not sure how it is in England, I suppose they are a bit more serious about it. Here piracy in games is HUGE, I do not see how certificate games and asking for identification is going to work at all.

I do not see your idea working for the simple fact that it does not work with alcohol or cigarretes in any part of the world. Minors still getting around and purchasing these things, can you imagine for a simple video game? Nobody would take it seriously, as long as it is a "game" people think everything goes.

As I said there will always be exceptions but overall here in the UK the cigarette and alcohol laws work pretty well, But that is mainly because it is not only the establishment that can get fined, it is also the individual assistant that sold the certificated product, and the company is under no liability to pay if for the employee.

Now most of the problems were employee thinking, 'well if we get caught its not up to me to pay' But with this law, they are more likely to question a border line case than just accept it, because it could be their fine.

And the same goes for a parent buying the product. 99% of the time they are not asked and most I would say are not informed of the explicit nature of some of the games, but If they new about a law that they could be prosectuted for if they purchased a certificated game for a minor, it may tip the scales and if nothing else, make them aware of it.

But as I said there are always those assistants who dont care, or those parents that think its easier if I get it for them, No law is 100%.

Even if it was law people would still get them just take copyed dvds and cds. Its already a big business whats a law or two going to do.

It's the parents fault they are the ones buying the games not the children, and if they go over a friends house the parent should say what he isn't allowed to do, simple.
