Grand Theft Auto IV

Im sure everybody either has heard about the new release of Grand Theft Auto IV, is dying to play, or has already played it. My little brother has the game, and every previous version too it, also every violent game that exists. This new game has all the “hottest features”, intense violence, strong language, use of drugs, sex, and nudity. Grand Theft Auto IV is a game where you play the bad guy who steals and commits crimes to win. The issues regarding the game has been all over the news lately, and I think it’s a good thing because not many parents, like my mom, know about how bad this game is for young kids to be playing. A local child and adolescent psychiatrist says not only should children not watch such games, but also questions why any adult would want to. He says the desensitization is just like what the military does to train troops to go into battle. This game rewards bad behavior, which is how you win. Children who watch and play these games can be negatively effected.
