When I was a kid, and Mortal Kombat (the original) came out, my parents FORBID me from getting it (Sega Genesis). They didn't even have a ranking system that made it straight forward like today ( I think they may have, but it was in it's infant stages ). My parents took responsibility for my actions. Granted, I borrowed it from a friend and played it behind her back anyways, but that's besides the fact (I also was raised well enough to know I couldnt go out beating the crap out of people and throwing them in a pit full of spikes ).
Same thing, 10 years later (i dont know if it's really been that long) Now the games have evolved, but same situation. My cousin ( 10 years old ) came over the other day and wanted to play Halo 2. I just looked at the kid and said sorry bud, you're not old enough yet. That's pretty tough now, isn't it????
(as a side note, his mother's let him rent it numerous times, and he tried playing that angle on me, but I dont care what his mom lets him do... Im not his mom, he can play it at home, and let HER worry about it)
