Now. here are some games that are rated E for everyone, so you may be wondering what they are doing in a debate about violent video games. The point for these games being here is they are some of the most beloved titles among gamers developed by beloved company Valve. These games truly are for everyone: great for children (since it is all about puzzle), extremely original, humorous, and - most importantly - many mature gamers have the same respect for these games as they do for their murder-simulators. It seems the media likes to think we turn up our nose to games that have anything but a mature rating. That is not the case - its not the violence that sells a game (well, I certainly hope not) but rather the story and the content. All we could hope for is the media to take a break from trying to convince our parents we are sociopaths and recognize there are several titles we hold dear that are not rated mature.
