WonderingMom Writes: Well I’m wondering your input/take on a 6yr old playing
Gears of War. Its a game that he has seen adults play, and there fore
recognizes advertisements, or on the store shelves. What is it rated?
And would it be an appropriate game for him to play? because it is

Ask GamerDad – Grandpa Halo Concerns

-Trying to stay fair Grandpa writes: “My daughter who has recently seperated from her spouse has major concerns that her ex spouse is allowing their 6 yr. old boy play “Halo” when at Dad’s house. I am not a gamer and not at all
equipped to give an opinion. Please let me know your thoughts on allowing this child to play for extended amounts of time this game.”
Those Offensive Beatles!

SARAH G. ASKS: “Why is Beatles Rock Band rated T-Teen?” I’ve been thinking about this every time I pull out Beatles Rock Band for family or friends. I think about it every time my under 13 kids are exposed to it. The game has been rated T-Teen 13+ by our video game watch dog organization and I have to strongly disagree with it. Why? Because it’s absurd and why we should be concerned about it as enthusiasts, parents and fans of gaming.
Should I be allowed to play C.O.R.E.?
Posted on September 18th, 2009 by
My dad will not let me play C.O.R.E. on my new DSi. I’m 11 years
old and i will be 12 next month. It only says Blood Gore and Language
my Dad says “No because it is rated “M”) But yet he bought me
inFAMOUS for my PS3 and that has Blood Gore Drugs Alchohol EXCESSIVE
swearing and more violence than you could imagine. I have played
games like starcraft which are just as bad if not worse. I also am
allowed to watch any PG-13 movies. Do you think i should be allowed to play C.O.R.E?
Thrill Kill

Message: Have you ever heard of a game called Thrill Kill? I’ve heard
it’s extremely violent and gorey, in fact it was so bad it was rated
AO and then banned, and then censored, and then put on the internet. -Llama
Disagreement about Left4Dead

I’m using this letter as a stand-in really, for anyone who has emailed me with some sort of “How could you recommend Mature Game X to a teenage audience!” This one is a pretty good example, and it features my favorite zombie/monster action game.

A parent of a 12-year old has given in and bought her son those violent 3D shooter war games. And Xbox Live too. Now she’s wondering what kind of parent she is. GamerDad tells her honestly, forthrightly and directly!

Ask GD – Manhunt 2

Got tough questions? I’ve got tough answers! Today we got a question about Manhunt 2 for the Wii – a very controversial title indeed. The question is: Does it make you hungry? Wait. That can’t be right.
