I was talking with a coworker about what games my parents allow me to play, and what they let their kids play. My parents were fine with most things bloody things, like Resident Evil 4, Left 4 Dead and Gears of War, mostly because you were fighting like aliens or zombies. They were fine with military shooters too, and got really interested in the Modern Warfare storylines. The game that they really had a problem with was GTA, of course, but later, when my little sister started playing it, they got invested in GTA 5’s story, so eventually we could just play whatever we really wanted. How bout you all? Did your parents have any weird or strict rules in games or movies?

    I had rules until I started getting an allowance and could guy my own games. That was around the time of GameCast.

    Rules

    • Nothing M rated
    • Only 1 new game per year, so choose wisely
    • We could rent from blockbuster, but I couldn’t rent the same game more than once, so I better finish that game in 3days, 5 days if they were feeling generous that week.
    • I was allowed to borrow games between friends, but since I had like 4 games to trade, they never wanted to let me borrow their games.
