Why are there so many violent games out? Do kids just like shooting things to relieve pressure? Will most of those kids go to jail someday, just for doing what they played when they were young? I'm going to investigate this.

I interviewed a few people, and here are the replies of niki916, Loser4God, Luckykat7, and wabster.

Pretzeboy: Have you ever played a rated T or higher game?
niki916: Yeah, I have.
Loser4God: Yeah, all the time.
Luckykat7: Yeah, most of the games I play are rated T or M.
wabster: Yes.

Pretzeboy: Were you old enough to play that game?
niki916: No, I wasn't.
Loser4God: Not exactly, but really close.
Luckykat7: No. My favorite game is the Sims, and that came out when I was 9 or 10, it was rated T.
wabster: A little bit under.

Pretzeboy: Did your parents approve of you playing it?
niki916: They didn't know, and don't care.
Loser4God: Yeah, always.
Luckykat7: Yes, they didn't really care that much. My dad rented me a rated M game when I was 12.
wabster: Maybe I would get told off for it, maybe not.

Pretzeboy: What did you think of the game?
niki916: It was a fun game.
Loser4God: I just like video games.
Luckykat7: I liked the game a lot.
wabster: The game was good.

Well, I found some games that are fun, and rated E (for everyone)!

For GBA (Game Boy Advance): Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. This is a really fun game, although it is a little easy to beat . . . it's fun. Plus, once you finish, you can go back and find all new things!

For GC (Game Cube): Super Smash Brothers Melee. This game is pretty cool, but you need two people to play. It's not too violent, no blood. Just a lot of power-ups. :D

For PS2 (Play Station 2): EyeToy: Antigrav. This is really cool! You get to be a hoverboard racer! You race other players, or a computer, and is really awesome! I like this game alot.

For XB (Xbox): Fuzion Frenzy. This is definately my favorite game. You play as one of 6 people, and go head-to-head against other players! There are lots of games to choose, from Sumo (Shown on the cover of the game), to Twisted System (Try saying that 5 times fast!). Very cool.

For PSP (Play Station Portable): Wipeout Pure. This is another futuristic game! Race in space ships, and try to beat your opponents! Fun game =D

For PC (Personal Computer): Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. This is a pretty cool game. As you build your park, just like the other 2 . . . you can ride the rides! I'm afraid of heights, but this game is too cool to be afraid of.

Enjoy!
