I am of 2 minds on GTA, on the one hand it is very well made (though not perfect) and has a compelling narrative, on the other hand as I stated earlier it is highly inappropriate for a child. If I had children, I would not own this game at all or any like it. As a parent it would be up to ME NOT THE GOVERNMENT to censor content. If parents cannot take the time to protect their children, they should not be parents.
One does have to understand that gamming has changed substancially over the last several years the average PS3/ Xbox 360 player for instance is a 25-35 year old male.
If I had the money and were buying a system for a child, I would not hesitate to get a Wii for them and play it with them, encouraging family friendly content and helping them get extra exercise.
Kudos to you, for exercising good judgement, there need to be more parents like you!
