All of us game, Most of us have spanned four decades and as new generations take up the mantel on the latest machines, do you/would you let you children to play. Research has already proved that gaming can teach us more then reading(in fairness), it teaches and trains reaction times, stratagy and history * +

But what about the negative points? Violence in games, vision problems, RSI and arthritis in later life, mood swings and lack of sleep leading to affected school work, attitude and copycat gamers who steal, hurt and kill. Given all that we know as gamers, would you still encourage your children to game, do you protect them from the bad points like allowing them to play racing games but not gta? * +

Or is it just a load of exaggerated cr*p, perpetrated by a society with nothing better to do? My boy played gta 3 when he was five,gears of war when he was seven and call of duty when he was nine. He is a well mannered child who is in trouble less then a choir boy, his reaction times are scarily great and he is well educated. * +

Games are changing tho and its not that children will copy them, its what they're exposed to, for example, gta or silent hill? I'd rather keep my kids away from disturbing games, because gta is just another shooting game with no graphic content that'll leave nightmares. Anyway, your thoughts please * +
