My sons have been playing games since they were very young. At 5, my oldest
could beat all his dad's co-workers (computer programmers) at Tribes like it
was nothing. I guess when I think of kids playing I think of kids like them
who know games. When my son was recently tested for gifted at his school,
they commented on his superior high above average eye hand coordination. Go
figure LOL.

Well, this particular kid purposely got me killed (we were in group and were
going to attack something together-- when I got aggrod on he did nothing to
help). He waited until I was dead (and the mob was half dead) before
attacking. When I respawned before he finished it off, he disbanded me so he
would get all the xp. It really sucked.
The kid shouldn't have been playing.
I guess if the kids are supervised and know how to behave its ok.
luv,
