I think it's a good idea. I mean, I would spend ALL WEEKEND gaming when I was younger. I suppose some children do game too much and this is a good tool to help combat that.

Kind of an good idea?. Man thats the sh*t!!!. Great feature for parents.

Dec!!! for what the game or the Update? :(

fenderputty6778d ago

in keeping people like Jack Thompson out of the industries hair is good for us all.

djt236778d ago

lol lol parents are going to manage they child time

anyway do you really think parents are going to use these feature

ArmrdChaos6778d ago

If they are invovled in their children's lives they would.

In the case of parents that use TV/video games as a baby sitter then probably not...which is a shame.

Cause I do and I think this type of thing is great. Using a games console is a privilege not a right. If you're child does all their homework and jobs round the house then there is nothing wrong with rewarding them with time playing games (if they want to that is).

Its not healthy to be stuck playing games hour on hour anyway.

Darkiewonder6777d ago

That look at what their kids play?

wageslave6777d ago

Uhm, yes. I feel sorry for you if you actually believe that.

Darkiewonder6777d ago

It was question O.o

I did not claim or say parents do or do not watch what their kids play.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
