Pro gamer in the making...
So you're letting your 3 year old play a teen rated game.
My Niece likes playing Dead Rising and Bioshock and refers to them as 'the zombie game' and 'the game with the little sistas and big daddy' respectably. She also likes playing my PSP sometimes and plays Dead Head Fred, which she calls the game 'the guy with no head'.
that thing looks NOTHING like a rhino.
I feel thats what we need in Sweden...mandatory Counter Strike practice throughout school... We need to make sure we don't slip off the ladder of Counter Strike ownage.
Not going to happen. "yanks" are too concerned with Halo to own in CS.

I know it looks nothing like a rhino.

No, I'm letting her watch ME play a teen rated game. I believe there is a difference. I don't curse at the game when I die. I don't say "Let's go kill some zombies!!" I die, it's "They got us baby." We kill something, it's "we got the bad guy." I don't talk about it in terms of death. I think that it's more benificial to children to be taught at a young age that they are just games and not how real life is. Could be worse, I could be letting her watch me play GTA or something like that.
Well, I guess that's alright then. As long as you're explaining that it's just a game I can understand. I assumed the worst, so I didn't mean to come across as an ass. I'm just saying.
I have to agree with you, 24. IMO its ok to let kids experience these games if you help them understand it is not real, and its not like a hooker killing simulator
My 2 year old helps me find monsters. (I may get a vid and blog it) I explain to her what the monsters in the games look like (right now playing Super Mario Galaxy) and when they come on screen she points to the screen and excitedly yells 'MONSTER!!'
Cutest thing you've ever seen, So, I'm right there with you man. =)
My 3-year-old daughter likes to play the "Ball Game with the Frog" She's talking about Zuma on XBLA.
She's really good, and accomplishes her goal (of getting all the balls to rush into the skull opening) everytime.
That is so much better than thse other parents who just dont give a damn and park their kids right in front of the TV and give whatever game they want to shut them up.
Being there as the adult to guide kids with what may interest them is one of the best things a parent can do.
Ahhh, that's adorable!
