How do you guys feel about video game violence and censorship? I don't mind violence myself, but I can understand parents not wanting their children to play violent games. It should be the parents that decide what their children play, not nutjobs like Jack Thompson who would probably launch a crusade against Tetris if he could. Video games here are still somewhat seen as a kid's toy and not a serious medium. However, censorship is now pretty much gone. Back in the old days, Nintendo used to heavily censor their games. While that's fine sometimes, in some cases it will ruin a game. For example, Nintendo decided to remove the blood and tone down other parts of Mortal Kombat. The SNES port was a failure and Nintendo was forced to essentially give up on their censorship.

There's only so much a parent can do. They can't watch the kid 24/7. If a kid really wants to play a violent game, they will find a way. The game ratings have done something, but think back to the Atari era for a bit. You'd have to ask the clerk for the game by name that wasn't appriorate, and hardly anybody knew about them. Today has a different age when we have so many sources about any game. If game stores now kept inapporiate games out of view and only offered the game upon request from an adult then the problem would be fixed as much as it could be.

anyways i think it depends on the parent since you control your child.. which is why i never watched power rangers since my mom claimed too much violence.
