some games I don't understand why they put m ratings. Makes it seem a whole lot more violent than t rated games. Like, games like mw2, I don't really understand why it's m rated to be honest. You don't blow heads off, not much blood at all, the only difference between it and other fps is that it has better graphics and is more realistic.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was rated M because of the theme it bore. War is somewhat a touchy subject and it's reflected quite well in the CoD series. Also, the airport scene was a bit controversial due to terrorism.

I started with Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet.

However, if you haven't played the MGS series yet, definitely don't buy the 4th. The Uncharted series is a great start-off title, however! Yakuza 3 was also one of the best games I've ever played. (It also has overviews of the last 2 installments which is very helpful for new time players.) 3D Dot Game Heroes is also a very good choice, especially if you enjoyed the NES/Snes Legend of Zeldas. And Demon's Souls, it's difficulty is punishing but it's great fun once you get the hang of it!

No theres no law against selling any game to a minor. ESRB is currently a "suggestion" and not a federal law. Its up to distributors to decide how far they want to enforce it.

Law makers want to make ESRB into federal laws. Theres upsides and downsides to it, but for the most part there are more downsides than upsides to this.

He's right in the fact that it depends on the distributor. However, most of the time, if a minor comes in with a person over the age of 17, they can still purchase the game. Parental consent is the name of the game.

Definitely a bad idea to start on the 4th. I would recommend getting the first via PSN store. You should be able to find Metal Gear Solid 3 at an EB Games or Gamestop easily. However, I personally don't think the second is too vital to the story-line. The first and 3rd are a must get though.

There was a Game of the Year edition released with 3D, there is also a sequel coming next year.spike6958

In all honesty, the 3D is a tad bit useless. I would recommend getting the original version instead. It's cheaper and not as cheesy.

I'm a tad bit too lazy to find an image, but I absolutely despise Dane Cook. That man is one of the worst comedians EVER.

I recently got Thief Deadly Shadows via steam and have been looking forward to playing it.

However, once I hit Start at the first mission screen, the game just shuts down, brings me back to my desktop and restarts itself. I have absolutely no idea what's happening here so I'm asking for your help.

In the current state of mind I am in, I just can't see myself working for too long, that is what bugs me, in 2008 I worked with the worst manager I had ever seen in Mcdonalds, yet I worked there and sucked it up. I don't know I think things like this that have happened in life are only now affecting me, I don't know how or why but I used to be a person who just held in everything and from Day 1 in high school when I was being bullied the hell out of I never not once did I I feel like I want to die. Yet now I do. I will never forgive myself though, I caused this, I did not want to hang out with relatives, I didn't keep in contact with my friends and I was too stupid to see what would come of it, now I am facing the consequences. That is exactly the reason why I am here, I have no one to turn to, and I don't want my parents to have to worry more about me too, because they have had their own fair share of problems.

I just want to get done with University, but at a time like this it seems so overwhelming 4 years, and I know that it might get better in 4 years time, when I have a nice income, an easy job I love, and have money to spend going out with friends. But 4 years is such a long time, if I had 1 high school friend with me on this journey life would be perfect. Right now my only wish is to get my happiness back and job wise I honestly wish I could get a job at Eb games, Game or somewhere with something that I have alot of passion in.

Bro, you want a friend to help you through this journey? Look towards your family. You say you have no one to turn to but your family is RIGHT THERE. They're there for you and whatever you're going through. Don't be afraid to tell them everything your feeling. Once things start getting sorted out and YOU actually take control of your life, you'll have SOMEBODY to tell about the progress you've made and how you're feeling.

They're the closest people you'll ever have, shutting them out is by far the worst idea you could possibly have.

A job at EB Games is a WONDERFUL idea. You'll not only be working with a business you love, but if the people there are like the people I work with at my EB, then you'll be having the greatest time everyday. Go get yourself an application and a hold of your life.
