I think it's important for every parent to review the content of the games before their kid plays it. before you start hatin on me, hear me out. their are many over protective parents, and to their kids, the ESRB is the biggest piece of shit, because it says a game is teen, and their parent wont get it for them. I played teen games much before the stupid rating said I should, but the first true M- rated game I played was perfect dark. For alot of parents, the ESRB is a guidline which helps them sort out appropriate content. sure it isnt always accurate, but it might stop the 6-year olds from playing GTA, or resident evil. My very own cousin, who is 7 now, played halo, and ended up scared of the flood(go figure?). I almost wet myself, when I saw the re-dead, and their piecing screams in ocarina of time.(the shadow temple was the hardest thing I ever did)(next to the godly frustrating water temple)
so, as a final note, dont be afraid of games, thinking they might make your kid a satanist or something, and act like a Nazi about the review system, following it to the letter. Just be sure to know what your getting into. It often can help if you sucribe to a game magazine, or review system of sorts, to help you sort out games that are unappropriate, without having to rent, or buy. Often you have to be the judge and say
" Do I want my kid or niece playing this game?"
*BTW renting is an awsome way to see if a game is appropriate.

When it shows that on guys camera memory thingy and it shows everyone dying and the masterchief sensing that something is wrong....
Best scene in the game, other than in the first one, where the lifeboats get whipped out of the sky by the Covenant.
The Flood isn't really scary for me. First time i played it, the little balloon thingys came streaming out by the hundreds, and I'm like, "Yeeeeeehaw!"
But then a combat form lands on my head.
WHen I first played it I was like ...woa. I had read the first book , and had gotten in on the whole, Halo has a cool story thing.
I played it on hard, no normal or easy, so for me, this was more a sense of. OMG WHAT THE F*** ARE THOSE.
I mean, I open a door, and come across, a wall painted in grunt blood. I see enemies running, and corpses all over the place. and then I am assaulted by zombie things that wont die. ( i later learn the pistol is more effective)
it could have been tweaked to be way more scarier...but seriously, anything that goes through a jackal brigade in under 1 min, with no guns or grenades, is tough in my book.
