This is a topic thrown around constantly but the reason I bring it up today is because Good Morning America or the "Today Show" had a debate on video games and violence. I saw this before going to work and didn't pay much attention but I was wondering what my fellow gamers think ...

I usually take the stance that it is the parents responsibility to control what games their kids play. However, we all know how difficult that is especially since many of us go to our friends house to play. The game GTA San Andreas is coming out and that is what prompted the Today Show to discuss. I am a firm believer that gamers are smart enough to make their own desicions however, I am beginning to see my friends brothers who at younger ages in the teens are playing these violent games (which i do enjoy), and then taking it to the next level. Of course there is an age limit before you can buy these games, so should the responsibility be on the stores who sell the games, or should it be the developers? Parents are obviously not doing their job right ... but then again how can they?

Your thoughts?
