Desiree, Agreed. The responsibility belongs with the parents not the developer. When my son wants a video game I always do my best to check it out, find out what kind of content is in it before deciding to purchase it for him. I do not however blame the developer for having violence, adult oriented sexual content, or any other objectionable content in the game because I know it is my duty as a parent to decide weather or not to purchase the game. Same goes with a game like Psycho Strike.
I don't blame VG Storm for making the game. I know my opinions of the game are a personal opinion based on my own ethical sensibilities and probably will not purchase the game for same. That doesn't mean I don't think anyone else can play it and enjoy it, because I am not that kind of person to shove my own thoughts and beliefs down everyone's throat. I could, for instance, ban the game from this list, but I wouldn't do that because I believe in people's right to free speech and to play whatever games they personally feel comfortable with within legal means.
