Well, since the Cranky Old Man is trying to say that violence and disturbing events in video games desensitize children, let me say something.

I'm 13, I've been playing M- rated games sinceI was ~3, starting with DooM, and most recently getting into Penumbra. I played through Amnesia last year, it was terrifying. But, at the same time -- it was one of the most fun games I have ever played.

Something else I should say; I started playing Amnesia with little-to-no knowledge of the game itself, all I had heard was some of my friends thought it was the scariest game they had ever played. So, when I first played it, I grabbed my headset and got into gear.

Most of the kids at my school like me, most people online like me, I'm quite a sociable person. Not a single game I have played nor a video I have watched has drastically affected my psychologically.

OT: Talk to friends on TS/Ventrilo/Skype when you play the game, it makes it a lot easier. I did that the first time I played Penumbra and it helped me feel like someone was there, so it made it a bit less scary.
