My 8 y.o is probably a tad better skills-wise than I am at the COD games. His reflexes are obviously faster and he is a better shot. I'd say I am still tactically and strategically better than he is. In my defence, I've been playing computer games for the best part of 30 years so I'm no slouch.
I had some qualms about letting him play the COD games but he seems mature enough to understand that the violence, while graphic, is obviously not real. He's a serious history buff so he is well aware of the disgusting things that people have done to each other for millenia.
The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
