I definitely agree with Nicola here. Children as young as 8 or 9 (in some cases they are even younger) are playing violent or pornographic video games which are targeted at 18+ year olds. I do understand that these games come with an age certificate, but in most cases this is disregarded by the parents or sometimes the retailer.
Every time I have been into Blockbusters, or a similar shop, to buy a game, I have never been asked for I.D.
There has been psychological research into this particular topic and it has been found to of significantly altered a child's morals, especially those when it comes to behaviour.
I'm not saying that the games should be less violent; what I'm trying to say is that the age restrictions that come with the games, should be taken into consideration more. And this responsibility lies with the retailers and the parents of the children.
