I am on the lucky side with this. Because my kids play settlement games. Building up new colonies and working as a farmer are the games they like most.

And paying fees for an online game was easy to get by. We told them to pay it theirselves. A month without money in the hands took this problem off
Yes I have had the same experience when given the choice my son chose games like the sims more often then the violent ones. He did play violent ones but they seemed more fantasy like so that didn't bother me that much

I've played plenty of violent games, and unlike the ones that are influenced by them, I can effortlessly tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Looking at my game shelf, I have the following games rated for bloody violence.

God of War 2, Devil May Cry 3, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Persona 4, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Xenosaga.

I have good taste.

Heck deer hunter series games (by WizardWorks) were rated for 'blood and gore' lol but the reality is that hunting exists and kids do it. so i don't get it...

but in my earlier years of DOS (i didn't grow up during the days of Windows so i missed out on the eye candy of games today) the most violent game i played was Doom and Doom 2 and its expansion packs. i was a Doom-a-holic but it didn't keep me from doing well in school nor did it make me lust for a bazooka. i think a lot has to do with the child's discipline level (we got spankings so we never got outta line much) along with their mentality and view of the world around them. honestly games such as the above won't do much good for those with low self-esteem, depression or mental issues which cloud their judgement, but i don't think blaming the game is the correct route. it is all the parent's responsibility, not the gaming industry's or the government's.

Have you already forgotten about this kid who made these incredible deathmatch levels? Eric's DOOM WADs

Lately, I play games that come from this company: phenomedia publishing gmbh | entertaining people

My favorite games: Sven Kommt!, Gutertrennung (Divorce game, hack the ex's property before she takes it away,) Hank (Dig-dug clone,) Moorhuhn Kart (like Mario Kart, but with unlockable levels,) TinCan Escape (strategy game like "Daleks!") and my latest favorite: Nandas Island // copyright phenomedia publishing gmbh

I prefer peaceable games over violent ones, but, in this world, violence sells. Some of these games' physics, as well as animation engines, are not that perfect. That's why I am working on one that addresses the shortcomings, in my off hours.

Most kids are smart enough to realize the difference between fantasy and reality, if they can't, they should probably mature a bit more before you let them play video games.

Violence in an understood individual is a null. Even when i was a kid, I already knew it wasn't good to kill anyone. I know the feeling of pain when i was fistfighting everyday on my first grade.

To think that any child that had been watching or playing violent games would be affected later in life is a real dumb thing to speculate. Hell i was playing contra and it was full of shooting, double dragon and it beats up anything on your way... but did i become some maniac that wanted to kill or beat up anyone? no... same as most of us, it is pointless IMHO to censor them 'cept sex in games hehe.
