    My kid is seven. I let him play GTA5. He just likes to steal the cars and drive them around. I don’t let him do the missions or shoot anybody. He loves it.

    Just gonna point this out, GTA is one of the most accessible games for kids learning to play a game. Shooters are very difficult to grasp aiming with one thumb, moving with another, and shooting. Games where you have to follow instructions or solve puzzles are impossible till a kid gets the hang of games.

    GTA? X button gets in and out of any car you want. Driving couldn’t be easier and is so much fun. Get out of the car and run around till you get bored, then just hop in another car.

    And when you die? No reading, or lengthy instructions you need to follow. No, just spawn outside a hospital right next to another car.

    I always felt like somebody needed to create a GTA clone just for kids. Everything about it should stay the exact same, just cartoonify the violence and get rid of the sex and drugs and stuff.

    Are we only counting computer games? Because I think parents taking time to playing board games with their kids are the coolest.

    Stayed at a Jehova’s witnesses’ house for a few months and they said I couldn’t play final fantasy X in their house because it was too violent
