Well, I'm 13, and I can't convince my mom to even let me play Halo (yet) at other peoples houses    Different rated M games have different levels of inappropriateness to younger audiences. Have you seen the very first level for call of duty 5 (world at war)? Their is an F-word in the first 3 minutes. Thats a game for people 17+. What about Grand Theft Auto? That shouldn't even be a game. Couldn't the makers of that game think of a better thing to be in a game than a criminal? And I'm sure their have been 10 year olds playing stuff like that, next thing you know, there thinking "When I grow up, I'm gonna be a criminal like Al Capone!". Anyway, I think the meaning of M can vary. Some rated M games, like Halo, are just bloody, which apparently doesn't bother most kids, with nothing much else bad. Other games, like that western game I keep seeing ad's for on You tube, have everything that comes with a rated R movie: Violence, Language, Nudity, *other stuff*, Drugs. Most of the time though, just to rap it up, for me M means around 14 and up. p.s. I'm not good at articles like this 

The F word? Seriously, have you seen people these days, most people 2 years younger than me say it. That is no reason to make it 17+

Say fire truck.

My mom is Way to overprotective so... I've never played an M game...I just hope soon she'll let play em...I just hope Call of Duty Black Ops isn't M cause I love killing people in games but the worst rated game I have Cod 3 and that game dosen't even have anything bad in it so what they say words they put in PG movies I go to a public school so cussing stopped surprising me in the 1st grade I know you reading this think I may have a sick mind for enjoying this kind of stuff:lol but I just do and I what to take it to the next level T to M

Yes, I know how people act these days: I was called an f-word, and a-word, and a b-word all in one sentence at camp, cuz some guy (who was my age) was mad at me ruining his bed (it was actually kinda funny what I did    ), and thats how it was all week. But thats no reason to try and keep others from saying things like the F-word.

Lol, FoxTrot is the best comic ever.  Calvin and Hobbes is a close second.

Peanuts is third?
Mine is Peanuts, Foxtrot, and then just nothing.

Although Dilbert was hilarious this week.

We're like the the one musketeer!

Yep, as I said before,

1: FoxTrot
2: Dilbert and C&H tied
3: Peanuts

Foxtrot roxorz! It is my favorite comic too!

Back on topic: my friends are so obsessed with call of duty and war games that sometimes that is all they talk about and want to do!

To me, video games are a scapegoat, something the government can blame for violence.  Therefore they ban them to people of different age groups.  (Of course, like with movie ratings, it is incredibly easily to view material supposedly inappropriate for your age group, making you wonder why the rules are there in the first place.)  I think that video games are actually the great undiscovered art form, although it is true they are thought of as a low form of media, created for the soul purpose of addicting the player, and therefore rotting their brains and shrinking their imagination, while simultaneously containing as much violent and sexual material as possible.  Similar things have been thought about television, movies, comic books, even the internet.  Unlike these other forms of media, however, video games have not reached their full potential, and, unfortunately, many consist of brainless content.  This is the main reason that people don't want children to play video games.  Hopefully, in the future, games will evolve into a unique and mature form of art in the same way films have.  However in the meantime, I still feel age discrimination and censorship are ridiculous, and so is the rating system.

My thirteen year old sister (My OLDER sister) has been trying to get my to buy her Grand Theft Auto, because I'm the only one with money    But I refuse. Every time we go to Target she tries to get me to buy it for her. I much prefer educational games, or at least something my little sister could watch us play.

Educational games fail. The are NEVER fun. NO EXCEPTIONS!

But first person shooters teach about some things in history! (well, some)
