From that page;
movies, TV, and video games are not just conditioning children to be violent--and unaware of the consequences of that violence--but are teaching the very mechanics of killing.

That's the steamiest pile of horse shit I've read in a few days.
The media that people are exposed to is not the root of the problem. It's parents specificly for not taking enough interest in their childs life to begin with to know what they are purchasing, or what they are doing with their free time. And it's societies in general who, along with the parents, have been saying over and over, since what? the early seventies?, that a person commiting violent acts is not responsible for his own behavior.
They, along with people like you, who push this garbage at our parents, giving them the excuse they so desperately need that they aren't failures. "My Johnny isn't capable of this... it must have been the video games".
I agree that the game should probably not be played by young children. But the decision and the policing should be left to the parents.
The game is rated "Mature". This is a voluntary rating that is placed on the title to warn parents that it isn't recomended for children under 17.
If you would take 3 minutes to do a little research, you would know this... but like so many parents today, you can't be bothered to educate yourself, let alone your children.
