Well I don't have kids yet (pregnant now) but my 11 year old neice practically lives with us and my husband has an x box with stacks and stacks of games, a lot of them fighting games like Halo 2, Mortal Kombat, Grand theft auto ect... Now again she's 11 so she doesn't act out these games, nor does my 8 year old nephew who plays them and has been playing them since he was very young. I don't agree with the violent games make violent people argument, but at the same time I have another nephew whose only 3 and he will act out everything he sees on tv. I think at 4 years old it would have to be your call, you don't want your child going around hurting people, or acting things out she sees on tv.
But all these people who say games are to violent for small kids to play, half of them will set and let them watch anything on tv so what's the difference? (I don't mean people who are replying to this forum, I mean people I know) So again my only opinion is to decide for yourself.
