Little Big Planet seems to be a harmless E-Rated video game, but here is a screen shot. I don't know about you, but i wouldn't want my 8 yr old cousin playing this game. Compared to the cover of the game, the screenshot looks a bit more violent, don't you agree?
Myth 8. Unrealistic video game violence is completely safe for adolescents and older youths. Facts: Cartoonish and fantasy violence is often perceived (incorrectly) by parents and public policy makers as safe even for children. However, experimental studies with college students have consistently found increased aggression after exposure to clearly unrealistic and fantasy violent video games. Indeed, at least one recent study found significant increases in aggression by college students after playing E-rated (suitable for everyone) violent video games.
