I can't even believe a parent would consider willfully exposing their child to a violent video game.
Why not encourage your child to play outside instead? To use their imagination? How about you buy them a book? Teach them to read? I think there are probably a lot of better things to do than introduce a four-year-old to Halo 2.
I was only allowed to have educational video games as a kid--no Nintendo, nothing. We did, however, have a computer in my house well before any of my friends did, though I was still only allowed to play educational games. I think it made a dramatic difference in my development of imagination, of reading skills, and fitness. I was reading at the college level in elementary school.
Perhaps your son could do the same, with the right direction.
