Race Car Game.
February 26th 2007 17:19
As you may know my son Callum is (I'm told like all boys) addicted to cars, anything car related. Now add into this mix that my husband and I quite like to play console games and we are careful in the ones we play when Callum is around, but there are those games that you like to play when he's asleep in bed... one of them being Grand Theft Auto. Don't ask me how but somehow Callum found the game and wanted to play it, hey it had pictures of cars on. So Daz thought what harm can come about from it, all Callum wanted to watch Daddy driving the car around. So Daz took off the blood rating and muted it so he couldn't hear the sound and made it as child safe as he could for him to just drive around safely. So there they are the two of them sitting happily together driving cars around and having fun and Daz is driving safely and our little boy is happy as larry. Daz was even careful enough (or so he thought) not to let Callum see how he "acquired" the car. At some point Daz has to pause the game to go and check on the toast he is doing for their breakfast, the same point in time I wake up from my lie in and go into the front room to see what my boys are up to. What do I see? Callum holding the PS2 controls and beating up a police officer and stealing the car!! Ooopppsss. He had been told to not touch the controls but hey he's a toddler and they never listen to what you tell them to do.
So the game gets very well hidden but we have the next couple of months with Callum asking to play "car game" and pointing to GTA whenever he sees it in a catalogue or a shop and saying "My game. I want to play.". With this in mind we decided to buy him his own child friendly car game, just a cheap second hand one. After looking in a shop we settled on V-Rally 3 and it's a popular choice with Callum, he loves the intro song and now knows the words to it and goes around singing it, bless him. The thing with this game is it's quite hard to play with a three year old sharing the controls with you but we perservered
