I agree that children should not be playing games like GTA, as they haven’t always developed the mental capacity to distinguish reality from virtual reality. You need a bit of intellengence and life-experience to fully appreciate GTA anyway.
The fact is that it’s an 18-rated game, and if a parent is happy for their child to play it then they are either confident that their child is mature enough to handle it, or they’re a crappy parent anyway (in which case violent videogames is probably the least of the kids problems.)

TBH I Actually agree to some degree that games like GTA negatively affect the way young people perceive violence. I think it can only be a bad thing when young kids get their hands on such a game. That being said; I am a huge shooter fan and I love gaming.

I’m just sometimes a little disappointed that the gaming community are so ready to pounce on any negative comment regarding games.

To be honest, while I can’t fucking stand Oasis, I’ve often found Noel to be pretty coherent and sensible during interviews. He does come out with some utter shit sometimes, though.

If somebody talking to me looked like that, I wouldn’t listen to a thing they said. He looks as high as a kite, and about as smart as one too.

“If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk [cannabis] and they come so desensitised to crime because they’re playing these video games, it’s really, really scary.” – Yeah right, I bet he was smoking ’super skunk’ when he said all this bull. The type of ‘kid’ hes talking about couldn’t even afford a video game console, and that’s probably part of the problem. Nothing to keep them entertained, so they find other ways to be entertained.
