Who Am I, What Am I, Why Am I Here?

askgamerdadGamerDad Writes: Since so many websites and other outlets have basically stolen your act, what’s the point of GamerDad.com? You don’t have the money to effectively compete and your audience, while still sizable, is largely silent. So, GamerDad, what’s the point to GamerDad? I mean, you’ve kind of won your battle, haven’t you?

God of War and Darksiders for 14?

kratosJohn writes: My son is PLEADING me to play games such as God of War, and one that I think is called Nightsiders. He is 14 and has never gotten below an A in his life! (His mother doesn’t approve) but I have let him watch movies like The Matrix and Underworld. With these conditions, is it an appropiate gaming experience?

What would they be rated now?

prs04Zach P. AskedRecently, I’ve been wondering about a few classic M rated games and I was wondering if your previous rulings still stood from the old site. The list is as follows, it might also be helpful to know which ones have filters: Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 5, Gears of War, BioShock, Left 4 Dead, Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, Assassin’s Creed, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Fallout 3. I know that, lately, your reviews have been a little more liberal so I was just requesting some re-reviews based on your new, liberal perspective.

What are those lovely children named?

My favorite letter EVER: Hailey asks: “what are those lovely children named?”

When we’re not calling them: “Stop that!” “Come here!” “Be nice!” and “Hey you!” they are called Henry and Maggie.

More Modern Warfare 2

codncis2Curious Teen Asks: So, I’m 13 and not allowed to play M rated games. To the most part this does not bother me, but, seeing how most of my friends are constantly over a network with each other, It makes talking about games at school a little akward. Let’s get down to the point. If MW2 left out the controversial airport level, would it still be a rated m game? I know its a difficult question so a rough guess would be alright.

CoDMW2 – A Difficult Question

Wasif asks: I’m 15 years old and my dad is making a huge deal about me playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. He even took it away after just a couple of weeks of playing it. I honestly (and i’m not leaving out any details) do not understand why. … Now that it’s gone, I’ve asked my dad for it several times and he tells me that these games are addictive and nothing more than mindless killing. I know this is because my dad is a psychiatrist and he deals with people who have addictions to this everyday. He sees people who are addicted to this game and believes that I am one of them, when I certainly am not. Can someone please help me with my dilemma?
