You can buy them at 17 unless they are AO - and then it's only 18. And they have to "card" you, or at least that was what I was told when I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the other day, at some stores. Odd, arbitrary system we have here in the US.
Yeah, for me it's hit-or-miss humor.
Cool - tell us how goo, or bad, it is when you get a few hours of playtime.
P.S.
As for the "better graphics argument," yeah. I don't think I'm the best example of that either.
Really?
I always re-play games until, at the minimum, I have gotten every available ending - within reason of course (I'm talking about games like Bloodlines and KotoR I/II). I doubt that I will get all of the five-hundred-plus endings of Fallout Three for some time. Maybe it's just me, but I actually like doing that - and it's not like I do not play new games while I'm re-playing old ones either.
That is all I think it should be - let the parents deal with the moral stuff if they want to, but don't have someone else's morality pushed on everyone.
