When is an adult not an adult lol
Never according to MS lol
They have now decided that to become all family friendly , guns or any form of weaponry will / have been removed from the avatar market.
So even if your over 18, hold an adult profile, use a credit card, play MW3 or GOW or any other war related game. You cant have a gun with your avatar as it sends out thwe wrong message....
So when you sit at the settee with your family all ready to go, just shout
"Kinnect, Rise of nightmares" lol
go figure
Mart

Adults let kids play MW3 and other over 18 only games (and see nothing wrong with letting little Johnny re-enact ripping someone's throat out with a knife on a regular basis). So perhaps letting MS censor things isn't so bad as clearly we can't trust the adults?

So because some parents don't want to be bothered doing any parenting then material is censored across the board.... that just lets them get away with letting other people do the parenting for them and means the rest of us can't make our own decisions over the content of various material as it's made for us.
It's the same with TV and films... because Little Johnny might have a TV in his room and watch things he shouldn't we dumb down TV and movies just in case. Well how about the parents take some f**king responsibility for a change!!!

F1, maybe miniman is a responsible parent, you don't know. Kids of all ages have access to these games and as you say TV stuff as well so just how would you go about policing it.

Never said he wasn't, I just don't like the attitude that we should all be censored because some parents take no notice of what their kids are doing
Er.. al these things are rated, if the rating is above the kid's age then the parents should prevent them accessing it Is it really that hard?

Q. When is an adult not an adult ?
A. When they play silly little games on consoles and have an avatar in compensation for having a fulfilled life, friends and an acceptable personality
