My parents don't care what I play, even if they're right next to me while I'm chainsawing in Gears.

Well my mother does not really care because we are not retarded like the other kids that go out and can't tell the difference between virtual and real life. My dad on the other hand will say stuff like 'This game is too violent too much cursing make sure you dont let it get too you' stuff like that...but deep down he doesn't care. So yeah its your parents.

My parents are worse. I had to fight tooth and nail to get halo 2 when I was 14. My parents eventually cracked cause they felt sorry for me and because the fighting was against aliens...

Until 15 the "sugestive themes" automatically meant no. Until 14 T rated games were a fight and M was definently a no. If swords adn killing people was involved than my parents would just laugh at me so no games like Devil May Cry...

To make things worse I was the kid that everyone always called mature so they didn't even have the what if u kill someone excuse!

15 was a Good year though. Basically everything 'cept Grand Theft Auto is cool now. GTA is off though cause of all the negative media coverage... Dmaned liberals!

If you have a really nice uncle get him to buy you a game and hide it from your parents and if he's really cool ask him to not tell your parents

People are scared of what they don't know/understand. That's why most parents feel the way they do about video games, or the public in general. They think games like GoW are training youngsters to wage war. Rediculous yes, but until the stereotype gets changed we're SOL.

Microsoft needs to start making T games for the people who's parents wont let them play M games also I think 60$ for 1 game is ridiculous! Also just about the only E games that Microsoft has is either sports games or viva pinata

My parents arent paranoid about that at all the only thing they worry about is the price, thats about it. Maybe they might be if there are games that are R18+ which im sure there won't be.

My parents play games with me. I think your parents are lazy and since they dont teach you values, they know the game might. Also they pride them selves in thinking they did something good when they probably dont know what the heck there doing. Just my oppinion though.

Maybe if you tell them that you are responsible enough for that game and its no worse then a CSI show? If they see your responsible maybe theyll let you get it.

Ok her's the story I'm bout to get a 360 in about a week or so. I told my mom that I was gonna buy gear and oblivion with it. She gave me a scary look and told me to ask my dad so i asked him and he diden't give a poo. So i told my mom and showed her the review for gears and she instantly said no!! Does she think im gonna go outside and finda rocket launcher and blow someone up?? sheesh! Is anyone elses parents like this??:?wiiman78

its good that you have caring parents, it really is be thankful for that, but in return if they say no to certian video games, then they should enforce it in some of the music you kids listen to now, and the movies you guys watch as well.

what kind of music do u listen to huh.?

actually, the only time my parents ever care is when they see me horribly mutilate someone in a game

but even then all they say is, "thats nice" in a sarcastic manner

hell, i dont even bother telling them when i buy a game cause i know they wont care (m rated or not). i mean, i play in front of them all the time and they never say nething

b4 i turned 17 i would either ask one of my older friends to buy it. or if they weren't available i would just get a random guy to get it for me, and then give them 5 bucks for helping me out

all i did was prove to my parents that.I know the difference between games and real life. i think real life is actually worse then games
