Posted on November 12th, 2007 in Parenting

It's alarming to see kids nowadays spend most of their time at home sitting infront of their PCs or XBoxs and Playstations playing violent games. The number of hours they spend in playing and the content of these video games are horrifying. If you think that it's just a generation gap or you just overreacting, then think again. It's possible that the games that they play may not be suitable for their age or may even be made only for adults use. Thanks to Mike Smith for publishing the 11 Most Infamous Banned Games.
