Or if he's too young and his interest in books was cultivated by his parents, I guess the parents also gave him some education in that area as well.
Personally, I don't think video games should be rated for 'content' but rather on how difficult they are to learn how to play. My mom bought us an XBox 360 for Christmas and this is the first 'video game system' we've ever owned - or used. I'm 50, she's 70 and it's been a *BEAR* to figure out how to play Kung Fu Panda - arguably the easiest game we've got out of the two that came bundled and the two she purchased at the same time. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
