He mailed me and told me what he wanted. He wanted some violent video games. Should I get him one? He's already a destructive kid, and I do want to steer him away from the sexual movies cuz that aint good for him.

If the kid were 10, or under.......yeah, sure...dont let him see that kinda stuff.

But at twelve, hes pretty able to tell fantasy from reality.

At that age...he's probably already seen it all, in one way or another.

A video game isnt going to hurt him.

It depends whether you want him to become chief justice of the supreme court, or a sleazy male stripper. Or both, like the late Earl Warren..

He's 12... get him some good T-rated games... nothing you have to show ID for :P

If you are going to get something M rated. make sure it has parental controls or something... or a non-gory game like Ravenshield :)

he wont play anything below M, except for violent T ones.

he wont play anything below M, except for violent T ones.Oh... so this is a game/no game situation :P

Just be careful... maybe rent the game and play it for yourself first :P

Whats the game he wants?

would Grand Thewft Autoor True Crime be good?

I would actually recomend against those two for a couple off years....they have lots of both...sex, and hardcore violence..

But maybe a decent first person shooter wouldnt be too bad?

I hear Battlefield vietnam is out...

would Grand Thewft Autoor True Crime be good?UHHH... yeah, most decent parents wouldn't think twice about giving their 16-18 year olds that game... let alone 12...

Your call, but those are violent, racey, crude games...

"We have occupied an outpost, and are awaiting further instructions!"

I'm 13. I'm destructive. I play GTA:VC and I'm A-OK!

Im mean..except for the hourly doses of sedative we have to give him.

Hold still.

LOL

I'm going to give him $12 cash since he''s 12.

If I were him, I'd smack you. But what the heck, it's $12. If he can save it, he can buy his own seat in Congress one day and eventually be the President and OMG! :shock:

DON'T DO IT OFFERMAN! DON'T DO IT!

is $12 a bad amount>?

is $12 a bad amount>?

May be a little low....

but it depends. Is he already dependent on money?

Give him the $12 and smack him if he's not happy with it. Thats what younger brothers are there for.

no hers not dependent he got $$45 already freom relativez.

I think what he means is, does he need money for his entertainment or is he content without it? You know how really little kids can take a quarter and be happy with it becuase they don't have to pay for anything but as kids get older they start actually using money and then a quarter is almost meaningless.

he likes cash. a LOT.

12 dollars will be a real let down for him. trust me, it would have been when i was 12.

get him a game where u kill nazis, nazis are people- but at least they r evil people... or postal 2 (joking).

i was serious about the nazi killing tho, i recommend medal of honor.

DO NOT under any circumstances buy him manhunt! very bad game for children! any thing else goes though

get him starcraft. at least your killing aliens. and the people u kill are dirty criminals...

offerman heres a site where you can get him games real cheap! www.videogamedeals.com also, if he has a gamecube get him viewtiful joe! great game

get him age of empires II, it`ll teach him history the fun way. killing and plundering for gold and land!

get him age of empires II, it`ll teach him history the fun way. killing and plundering for gold and land! why all these old games? rise of nations is way better
