Yeah, it's getting a bit out of hand. I bet they're still allowed to watch the most violent of horror films, though...

I stay well away from horror films AJ. The only full one I watched was the OMEN 1 and thought that was really creepy.10 minutes of the exorcist and Im away. As for games RESI 4 wasnt really scary but is the scariest I ve played.

You mean where was I?...eh...canoeing.

horror films by their very nature tend to be crap, apart from the odd exception they are mostly crap.

this is excessive if you ask me you shouldnt control sombodys freedom of expression so much

Haha, I don't think you should play Condemned in the dark! Or just Condemned at all.

Seems as if australia is an awesome place to live, bar their views on games. If the games are rated 18 and 10 year olds are playing them then going out and trying to kill people, would they not be better looking at the parents allowing a clearly messed up child to play a game 8 years too early.

I played GTA when I was about 14/15, but I didn't have any urge to go out and jack a car. Surly parents can tell if their child is messed up and whether they would react badly to a violent game.

A valid point from a bluenose but yeah even all the neds hanging about the streets. I have always firmly believed its the parents fault.

you cant control a person by banning the computer games they play or anything else for that matter, if there was no entertainment games music etc... people would probably kill outta bordem
