Don't worry - they cause neither stunted growth nor school shootings, as my 9 year old relative can attest. I introduced her to Half-Life 2 and its Episodes when she was 6, and it was one of the few games she kept watching me play through without ever getting bored of it. Today she plays it on her own, and while it sometimes makes her scared or jump, she just giggles at how afraid she was and then keeps moving. She's not a violent child by the way, in fact turned out better behaved than her peers.

(It isn't Brew Witch, is it?)In general I agree; other than our youngest's announcement on her 18th B-day that she was joining the local Roller Derby league, none of our kids have shown any violent tendencies whatsoever (and I can't conclusively pin that on exposure to violent video games at an early age)!
