Wanting A Box

Whilst there, we had a day in town to look at some shops and keep my wee one occupied (we had already done Loch Lomond and the transport museum).As one does, we went into a shopping centre and low and behold we were in a store, which also happened to include a GAME.

M For Mature
In theory I support that any form of media (games, movies, music and even books) should have adequate warnings on them to give the buyer an idea of what content they are going to be exposed to.
