6 violent video games you don't want your kid playing

From violence to horror, many video games are much worse than their given rating.

You may not allow your teens to watch sexually explicit films or shows with too much gore and violence, but the video games in and around your home may cause trouble, too. Some video game ratings are misleading, stating that the games are made for young children and teenagers to play, but they are actually full of violence, profanity and foul language.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Gaming is different nowadays, as it stimulates real life scenarios based on heavy fiction. Many video games revolve around dangerous ideas. Before letting your children play them, you might want to look at this list of video games you'll want to keep out of your house, with help from Crosswalk.com.

1. Grand Theft Auto (GTA)
 

This video game is very popular and sells well in the market. However, it is not something children of all ages should be introduced to. Filled with ideas of grandeur on theft, violence and other criminal activities, GTA, no matter what version, is not a good choice.

Rating: Mature

2. Diablo

Coming from ideas of demonic activity and monstrosity, the game series is filled with graphic content depicting disturbing violence. This role-playing video game is not recommended for your teenagers.

Rating: Mature

3. South Park - The Stick of Truth

It is not even a cartoon safe to watch for kids: South Park game version is also full of foul language and even graphic sexual content.

Rating: Mature

4. Assassins Creed

Like GTA, all of the versions up to "Black Flag" are filled with high violence. This action/adventure combat game involving a historical-fiction plot is also one of the most popular games among teenagers. Despite that, you should still think about letting them play this one.

Rating: Mature

5. Dead Space

"It's revolting. It's violent. It's everything you love in a game, and your mom's gonna hate it." They launched Dead Space with this ad campaign. It's a shooter game, as well as under the horror/suspense genre, like the most aforementioned ones.

Rating: Mature

6. Naughty Bear

Despite the rating, this game is no way for a teenager to play without being highly disturbed. The bear is a sociopath that beats up his friends, only stopping if they had already committed suicide. Under the genre role-playing, the mental stimulation of this game is dangerous for anyone to encounter.

Rating: Teen

Parents should be vigilant on what their children are exposed to, not to control but to guide them in their most vulnerable and curious phases of life. With virtual mind stimulation generated by video games, this should be something parents and children are discussing.
