Title: Grandson loves it.
Review: My 10 year old Grandson got the console and Halo 3 for Xmas and absolutely loves it. We pondered long and hard whether or not it was appropriate for a boy his age, and decided that, for him, the war action and violence was not harmful, rather it was a means of cleansing his general sense of fearfulness or powerlessness. This is a kid who cries when a pet dies in a movie. This is a kid who is not shy, or introverted, or "dark", or mean. He plays sword-versus-monster games with his friends, then runs inside to catch Billy cartoons or to read Calvin and Hobbes books.The game is all about different weapons and explosions and alien enemies. We believe that experiencing the roles in mythic themes is not a bad thing for him. While we might prefer his curiosity and focus lay in math or basketball, we realize we ultimately will not eliminate whatever fascinations he holds for his world, and that withholding sometimes merely increases the attraction.
