Not 100% related, but I feel for parents these days (I have not had kids yet...) as there is alot more stuff they have to worry about. I can well remember when I was a kid playing nes, snes, genesis, sage cd, etc. I can well remember when nighttrap was banned due to some nudity (I had already watched plenty of skinemax by then)...

Just seems like kids want to grow up faster, and pop culture is pushing that as well. I can only think that I will attempt to expose my kids to stuff early on, and try to explain things properly, before they get to experience it with out guidance. I am sure that is a bit naive of me to think I can cover all of the bases, but I have a feeling I can do a better job than the unwashed masses. I cannot imagine having to set parental control for my kids, on a pc or vido game/tv. This kind of stuff does bother me a little about being a parent, lots that you have to think about...

Car racing games should be a safe bet, save for GTA. I have had the most fun recently with the wii, playing tennis and boxing with my buddies on friday nights. We have a "guy's night" and generally have a few drinks and play video games. Pretty low key, but it is good to hang out.
