Should videogames have restrictions for children?

children are influenced by everything they see; some videogames too much violence for a kid that have from 5 vto 10 years old and this can affect in the way he behave. Should we allow this?

For me, some videogames are very violent for young children. They should have a restriction because then, they can affect these kids. Some parents don't have the knowledge of which of these videogames are appropriate for their kids. Some of these videogames are Dead Space and Mortal Kombat.

I think some types of video games should have an age restriction because of it violence or it’s content and some games may corrupt or interfere in the children’s lifestyle.

parents should be more responsible about what the buy their kids and should inform themselves better before buying them for example using the internet or asking the store manager

There are some games that should have a restriction because of their level of violence, however there are some that not. Those videogames that should be restricted are because they can have a lot of violence, can relate to alcohol or drugs, mafia and that usually give an image of a unrealistic life, so some of this things and scenes shouldn’t be watched by kids at such young age.

Dear Sofia, unfortunately we live on a generation where violent and inappropriate games are popular rather than platforming friendly games; As an evidence of this, we can observe, for example, that violent games were best-sellers in the video game market, when 30 years ago, plat forming video games such as Mario, sonic, or pac man were popular and people enjoyed them. So, I would say there shouldn’t be a restriction, but children should change opinion and play the video games that are most convenient for them.
