It is still an ongoing debate whether violent video games influence children to become physically violent or not; while this argument continues, it is better to stop them from playing some of these games. In this article we mention some of the most violent Android games that are not for children.
Before we continue, a quote from a Medical News Today argues that besides influencing possible physical violence; violent video games also make children hostile. Many parents and guardians allow children to play some of these games to keep them engaged while they do other things. There are lots of healthy game substitutes for this.
See some of the most violent video games on Android that children should not play:
1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
This is a paid mobile version of the popular GTA franchise. Its main features are extreme violence, gambling and strong language. Anyone who has played GTA will agree that its 18+ rating should be strictly followed.
2. Gangster Vegas: World of Crime
This game already gives itself away with its name. It is clearly rated 18+ on its download page on Google Play store. Some of the game’s key features are; extreme violence, strong language and simulated gambling. All of which parents and guardians do not want their children and wards exposed to early in life. It already has over 50 million downloads.
3. Call of Duty: Mobile
