I don't think the games need to banned as such, they just need regulating more effectively. I have no problem with an adult picking up GTA and playing it. They have made that choice, and although I may think its a waste of time, its up to them. Theres no laws like with alcohol, that make it illegal for any adult to supply a 16/18 rated game to a child. We have to use our discretion and refuse the sale if we deem it necessary.

What really bugs me, is the parents who are not informed at all on what these games involve. They should be more aware of what their child is being exposed to - at the moment I would say the vast majority have no idea of the content of the games.
