Top 7 Games Your Kids Should Avoid

1) Manhunt 2

This action game from the makers of Grand Theft Auto caused a media frenzy that lasted for weeks. Why? It's gratuitously violent and requires the player to physically mimic the action on screen, such as jerking the Wii remote downward to shove a pen into an enemy's head. The most gruesome shots in the game have been partially censored, but this is one Wii game that's definitely not for everyone.

2) Call of Duty 4 (Modern Warfare)
Although the DS version is more toned down for kids

3) Beowulf
which is based on the epic poem we all studied in high school English class, focuses less on its literary relevance and more on the gore. Beowulf's ability to go into a blind killing rage by filling up an in-game meter isn't exactly the stuff of term papers.

4) Conan
Like Beowulf, Conan might sound like a harmless fantasy-based game, but much like Arnold Schwarzenegger film, this gory game includes rampant bloodshed, bodily dismemberment and a little bit of female nudity.

5) Gears of War

The 'war' in this game has nothing to do with history, it's all about mowing down aliens with bullets and chainsaws as they attempt to invade your home planet. Even though this game has won a million accolades, the bloodletting rivals a slasher flick and the main characters drop the F-bomb like it's going out of style.

6) Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

This scary Wii shooter pits you against zombies and other creatures that go bump in the night. The game follows all the usual zombie laws, meaning that blowing off their heads is essential for survival. Not for the squeamish, plus it requires players to point their Wii controller at the screen like an actual gun.

7) Unreal Tournament III
This so-called "frag-fest" is really a no-holds-barred shoot-em-up mixed with the capture the flag concept. Shoot an opponent, and he doesn't just fall down – he explodes into bloody chunks that bounce around on the ground. Plus, scripted in-game language includes its fair share of four-letter words that you won't want junior taking to school with him.

If you have little ones, elementary age, and they are clamoring for video games I think Zelda from Super Ninentendo is a great one. The graphics etc are not as life like, more cartoony, but the controls are much easier for their little fingers. The game tells a story so there are parts where they actually have to read and comprehend. Not gory at all but there are enough sword fights (no blood) to appease the kids.

My son traded his super nintendo in and then a few years ago, bought another one just to play Zelda on again. Its a fun game and I hate video games.

Well stoney as far as the ice cream for breakfest goes. Thats what single uncles are for. See we get to let our nieces & nephews do what ever they want ,get as dirty as they want, stay up as late as they want, and then go home. Yeah I know you parents b**** about it, but whenever they need a babysitter in an emergency, guess who you call. Thats right :devil_2: :thx: :jawdrop: :talktohan :evil: :angel: the single uncle.

Kane and Lynch

The next big thing looks like it should be for older teens only (if that).


Disclaimer: I'm far from the 'Tell others what to do' crowd. I just think it's important to protect kids, without forcing parents (via law) to do so. Make sense?

I know, what's up with that. They like hugging, telling them you love them, holding hands, bla blah blah. Alright, whatever.

If someone is not nice to you remember this.......they may have a shitty life, or going through a tough time. Not everyone is having their best day when they come across you.

Oh yeah, and be kind, rewind.

Today, my son got a card in the mail from Santa. This was done by the bank my wife works at, for free.

For a bunch of money-grubbing bankers, that was a nice gesture.

Santa left a message on the answering machine for my little sister. The phone company did it, apparently, which I thought was nice (yet odd).
