Videogames are seen by some as being 'for kids' but since games have gotten more mature with their subjects and themes, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact a lot of titles (Kane & Lynch, Heavy Rain etc) no responsible parent should let their children anywhere near. But as an example of just how powerful/emotional some games can be, take a look at the scene below of Sniper Wolf's death in 1998's Metal Gear Solid.
Pretty strong stuff im sure you will agree. The defense rests its case your honour.
