If we're over here reading violent books/watching violent movies then who cares what the heck they're playing

I for one love call of duty

depends on who plays them and what sort of violence

Yeah, just make sure there are warnings in advance in case someone is sensitive to that or below a certain age

I mean you could argue that modern video games are graphic but old video games are just not super violent.

^^^

But it is so pixelated and have horrible graphics that children intrepid tp be ketchup coming out of people. Or "Raspberry jam in your eyes."
This is the thing that started the whole rating system.

Even if a child knows it's blood, there's a difference between realistic gore and cartoon gore. I've seen both and one has had a more lasting impact than the other.

well it depends but a child shouldn't, my cousin was addicted to such games and would hit other kids cause he thought he was playing the game he also got really aggressive and he's in 3rd grade

I do agree, I think that many of the older games are more cartoon violence because of their inability to show graphic gore. Halo 1 and halo 2 are great examples of that. You are only killing aliens/zombies. And their blood is bright blue or dark purple or green. When I was a kid, I thought it was yogurt, purple soda and plant juice respectively.
