I believe the only impact it has on the child dues to the way they are treated by thier parents.

A child that is sheltered by thier parents would probably be inflused buy a game like grand theft auto and thats not even the worst out there.

On the other hand a child that isn't sheltered so much won't even think of it as much. He obviously knows its bad to go out and kill people but he isn't likely to go do it just because he finds it fun on a video game.

The expample I have would be my brother and my girlfriends brother who is the same age as my brother. His parents would never let him play GTA and he thinks its a horribly bad "adult" game. Meanwhile my brother plays it and doesn't really think its all that bad, he knows its just a game.

I used grand theft auto as an example cause that is the most widely known vid game where you can pick up hookers and later kill em off and take your cash back. It is by far not the worst out there. But either way I think the whole violence and reality controversy on video games is and should be handled by thier parents.
