Halo 3 : ODST

Halo 3 : ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers)

This is the new game all the kids want but is't ESRB is M for Blood , Language , and Violence.

ODST takes place before Halo 3, but you do not get to play as Master Chief this time. Rather, you take on the role of an orbital drop shock trooper dubbed "The Rookie," and your job is to extract important data located far below the ruined city of New Mombasa before the Covenant gets its hands on the prize. As you can imagine, things do not go as planned, and you wake up from a horrible crash landing six hours after your allies hit ground. The city is bathed in darkness, with burned-out cars littering the streets and sharpshooting enemies hiding in deadly gangs waiting to ambush anyone who wanders near them. The story itself is nothing special, but the manner in which it is told is quite engaging. As you wander around this hostile environment, you will find pieces of equipment that your fellow soldiers left behind. When you pick up these items, you are transported to the past and get to play through the events that took place while you were knocked out.

Bottom Line : If your 13 year old can handle Terminator 3 and you are ok with the violence then thy can handle this game. But no kid under 12 should be playing games like this.
