Parents should know better the contents of videogames

Parents should know better the contents of videogames than they do now, say professor Tony Manninen from Oulu

He says that parents usually doesn't have any clues what kinds of computergames their children plays. Parents also don't always respect the age recommendations of game

- Age recommendations exists just because the games contains content that may not suit for example people under 18. Many of the parents still believes that they can buy such game to their child because "our Ville" is so good and educated. Age recommendantions though doesn't think about the difficulty of the game but the content, says Manninen

The tragedy of Jokela has made many to think if the violent games had anything to do with the massacre. To the questioner Manninen reminds that after all games and playing shall stay as they have to this day.

- Instead of finding guilties it's more important to ask how we can chance games so that those can help people in despair and see the others around them. One can't think that game itself is good or evil. It's more important to think where the game is used and who, says game researcher.

In Northern game -conferense, which just started in Oulu, the tragedy of Jokela was told also to foreign participiants. After this the conference was begun with one minute of silent moment

And about the availability of information, there is tons of it. So far this is what is know about the backgrounds of the killer:

• He was politically radical. Even though his opinion and side changed almost weekly, it was always the most radical side
• He had stated that the massacre will be political terrorism act
• He wanted to get his name to some well known international list of most famous mass murderers
• He thought he was equal to god, and everyone not suited to his believes and visions of the world should die
• He used medicines for mental problems, but quited using those couple of days before the incident
• He wasn't one of those who like to hang out with others, but instead liked to be alone more

This is only short list, most of the things known sums up the ideology of his and hov he visioned the world.
