my opinion on this is; If a person seriously wants to play a game because thats a type of genre he/she is into, and actually tells the parents why then they should be aloud to play any type of game (within age reason).
What I actually hate is when the parents will go out and buy like the latest GTA for their 9 year old kid who doesn't even really know what it is, not really setting the best example for a young mind.
I mean - heck, I was playing the 1st GTA back in 97 and I was 11 back then. But I knew what the game was about and actually asked my parents and told them why I wanted it and they decided I could have it but was only aloud to play for certain amount of time on it and it had to be infront of them, so they cud see whether or not it was getting too violent.
Tho by the time i hit 13 I was simply playing it when and as i pleased.
