i think that sometimes games like halo have violence to make you feel like its real, like blood, but games like doom with mutilated zombies and guts arent the kind of things you want to remember for the rest of your life. sometimes games go a little over the edge, but with things like halo its to add to the realism and stuff

yeah... for violence to be the point of a video game is bad (all them "random kill everyone games")... to have violence be a vehicle to make the game better is just fine (halo, tactical shooters,etc

One point I like about Bungie is their relative lack of guts and blood spraying about the battlefield, compared to other FPSs today. You don't need blood and guts, or even stains to have an enjoyable game. Besides if you keep those things low or morre or less out of the game, you can get it to a wider audience.

Something you might want to note in your report is that there are TWO types of "violence," par se. One is the type you see in Halo, where a person (John 117) is fighting a group of enemies who seek to destroy what he believes in. He welcomes confrontation with that enemy in order to further what he believes is right.
The second type of violence is the kind that glorifies maiiming and killing as something to enjoy for its OWN sake. This is the kind you see in pathetic games like GTA and those in the "Chainsaw Massacre."
The earlier children are exposed to violence, the better. However, they should recognixe it for what it is, a tool.
And a game that displays that, like Halo, is awesome.

the reason i play video games is that it lets me do things that i cant do in real life like use violence on fable i would go around and kill almost every person i could but that was because i knew no one was suffering from it

I don't think that's it's really the parents' fault either. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, instead of blaming that crap on other things. I played Doom and Duke Nukem when I was 5 years old, and I never went out and killed anybody.
