Some robbers tried to burglarize a home and pointed guns at the three kids, who were playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto, which has dozens of random police scanner messages, which blare out calls such as "This is the police! You’re surrounded!" The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked. The REAL police has arrested the four men.

There is a market for violent video games and a rating system. Being an adult game player, personally I don't have an opinion on whether they're good for anyone or not but surely they're not any worse than the movies we watch...

That being said, GTA is an adult games and is labeled as such (Mature Rating), hopefully these kids are in their late teens or something other wise I'm a little dissappointed in the parents for buying it for them. Although parents do know they're kids best I suppose.

GTA is retarted :P
I don't have a problem with violent games too an extent. Games such as manhunt and shellshock 67 are just trying too hard.
