We cut through the static and list seven games that are good for your kids and seven that aren't (even though you might want to play them yourself).

Bad: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Rated: M for Mature

This might look like a patriotic game that will teach the kids American values, but it has an M-rating for a reason. Near-realistic combat that includes disturbing scenes where attack dogs chew out your buddy's throats put this war game over the top.

wow u savvy parents purposely make these articles to make such controversies, the person who made this article is sum over protective mother who has a 15 year old kid who has never played a teen game or watched a pg-13 movie and the mom enjoys watching other people fire off online, like one of those weird ppl on desperate housewives.

just because the game is fun doesn't mean its bad, god u call yourself a "savvy parent"? well its becuase of mindless parents that the games industry is doing badly. and im not saying u have to have ur kids play gta 4 or anything but just beause its fun or rated m doesnt mean its ALWAYS bad.
