I can imagine the kid making up some excuse for that ("these ratings are not right, it's really not that violent") so that he could play it anyway. After all, we've all been kids, right? ;) Here’s the thing though: despite the fact that the game had been rated 18+, the parent did buy it.

The Video Game Rating system should help with some of this. This particular game is rated M for Mature which is described as: "MATURE Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older.

What a shame.And what's this game about anyway? You just have to beat the hell out of passersby, steal cars, kill people and not get caught. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this game caused real-life violence. Parents are buying this game for their 8-year-old kids these days, not knowing what kind of violent game it is. What a shame.

So does Amazon ship the day it releases, or do they ship ahead of time so that you should receive it on launch day?
