Ok...more gamer help needed. Y'all confirmed my thoughts that Grand Theft Auto isn't ok for kids. What about Assassin's Creed and

to a lesser extent Halo: Reach?

I'm thinking Halo is probably ok...just violent. What about the other?

Thanks!

I'll go with a no for Assassin's Creed. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 13, 10:59
Hmmm. AC is fairly bloody. I would probably hold that and Hitman back. I guess Halo Reach is okay. - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 10:57 16
- I've gotten to the point where the blood and violence don't bother me too much...when it's a shooting/military type game. - Jim Apr 13, 10:58 15
  - I don't like playing at killing people. I mean robots, OK. YMMWV. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 11:14

  - Yeah, everything's at a far lower level than GTA's 'violence-for-violence's sake' level of mindless brutality. - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 11:01 1
    - lol classic. It's tough out there for a parent. Our nephew has Assassin's Creed...i think I'll just check it out over there and decide. - Jim Apr 13, 11:03
  - the beginning of AC2 might disturb them, but not for violence. (spoils) - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:59 10
    - But really, you can't be too young to witness a childbirth - Guigue Apr 13, 11:01 9
      - Which one of them was. DOH! -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:01
      - gah! yes you can. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 11:01 7
        
        Well, every single person's got at least one under their belt by the time they're a day old. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 11:03 6
        
        That's 3 for me. And I think that's enough. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:06

        let's assume you can't watch your own. - loosilu Apr 13, 11:04 2
        
        Pfft, blind people can witness stuff too. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 11:07 1
        
        But deaf people can't be whispered to. I learned that on Celebrity Apprentice. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:08
what age is the kid? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:55 6
- Sorry...they're turning 13 and 12. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 10:56 5
  - Halo is fine. My ex g/f kid is the same age and he and all his cousins play Call of Duty Black Ops and Modern warfare 2. Kids love that game -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 11:09 2
    - Black Ops and Modern Warfare eh...what are those about? Nutshell me. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:09 1
      - War -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 11:12
  - I haven't finished AC2 yet, but from what I have seen, it's probably fine. Ditto for Reach. Cartoon violence, it's not real, yadda yadda - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:58 1
    - Yeah...but the ratings are only a guide for me. Example. Halo's M doesn't bug me like GTA's M. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 10:59
