He also mentioned an interest in Assassin’s Creed but I’m not too sure about that one. Killing aliens and historical bad guys is one thing but randomly going around assassinating people for your own gain is another.
Agreed. Fantasy based violence is more like a road runner cartoon (with frags) but I don't let the kids (nor myself) play the reality based "Hitman" or GTA. Heck, during their early teen years my sons and I wore out a few keyboards playing multi-player Quake and Unreal Tournament on the home network.
