A situation has occured where I had to look after my 10 year cousin while his parents were called away to an emergency. Obviously video games was the main time killer but after trying all the Nintendo games like Mario Kart/Smash Bros/Zelda, he started bugging me to try the older rated games in my 360 collection. I definately said no to games like GTA but eventually allowed one game to let him play. Halo 4.
As predicted, the opening scene was "SO AMAZING" according to him but then immediately lost interest super quick and went back to watching Youtube of lets players who were streaming GTA V and other older rated games because for some strange reason, his mother allows him to watch this but absolutely forbids him from playing these games.
So this brings up a question that makes me wonder. For people with kids or younger family, are you like your parents where, "NO OLDER GAMES FOR YOU" or do you actually let them play them because you trust that they are able to handle those games?
