Maybe some kids. I doubt most would assume a game translates to real life. How is a video game any different than a violent movie? When I was young(like second grade?) I watched terminator, I never once thought it was a good idea to kill anyone. I hate this line of thinking. IT'S A VIDEOGAME NOT A MURDER SIM. The only games this should apply to is games like Postal or Manhunt.
I do admit that there are some that are okay even for a child to play. Virtual Cop is my favorite.
I also like the Tom Clancy & SOCOM games because thinking encourage thinking first before stepping into the line of fire, just like in a war.
An expert can run and gun on those & still beat the levels. But if you're a beginner, you're better off safe then sorry.
