In my third playing around, I realized how much fun I am having, playing San Andreas. Even though I’m still in the earlier stage of the game, I think that story line is what makes this game so great. In one of my recent mission, I had to go beat up the crack dealer. As I approached the crack dealer, I used baseball bat as an weapon and beat up the crack dealer until he was dead. All of sudden I realized how much I have enjoyed the violence in the game. Due to this, I thought if this game had this kind of effect on me, what will it do to kids who are playing this game? Children are easily influenced, so I do believe that a child who plays this game can become more violent.

However, this isn't a game for children (it is rated "M"), so what do you think the real issue is in this case? Also, what was it about the violence in the game that you enjoyed?
