Actually, the boy who is the alleged murderer and the player of the game was 17, easily passable for 18 when purchasing from a games shop.darkangel said:I do agree with what is being said but I think the parents do have a responsibility, Manhunt is a 18 so how did the 14 year old boy get it? Parents should check what games their children are playing.
Most people that work in computer game shops are around 18-25, they dont give a thought of who there selling what to, whether its because they want to make the kid happy or dont want any hassle or are just thoughtless? when i was just 14-15 GTA (an 18 rated game) had just come out, i was in my local game shop and bought it instantly, no questions asked.darkangel said:I do agree with what is being said but I think the parents do have a responsibility, Manhunt is a 18 so how did the 14 year old boy get it?

Couldn't agree more with this point, you'd have to be "not quite right" to do something like that.floppybootstomp said:I personally think this kid was an accident just waiting to happen, some people are just like that.
It does look as if the computer game was a catalyst in this case but what can we do?
If it wasn't Manhunt it would have been something else that tipped him over the edge, possibly a horror film.
