If a game is violent, then kids that play it or even watch someone else play it will want to act it out.
Seriously, when I was a kid, I can't remember the amount ofg tuimes me and my friends played Ninja Turtles. We would use broom stiks and metal rods, make our own nunchucks, etc. and we would pretned to be them, and attack eachother with these things. Now, think of how much more violent video games are then these tv shows we used to watch.
I am seriously debating as to what age I even want my son to start playing any kind of video game. Obviously if I do let him play any it will have to be a non-violent, educational game that promotes posotive morals and ideals.
That's pretty much the end of my rant.
