When he's been playing it, he becomes very disruptive and abusive, even violent when asked to come off the game and starts freaking out saying that he has to complete tasks before his character gets killed or someone takes his character's identity. It's like he is obsessed, almost begging to be allowed to play the game. Whilst on it and immediately afterwards his behaviour in general deteriorates rapidly to the point where if you talk to him, purely asking questions etc, his responses and reactions are totally disproportionate to the situation as if he's been severely disciplined just by speaking to him, then he becomes defensive, hurling abuse at any and everyone coupled with completely crazy behaviour bordering on violent.
I don't want to prevent him from using the PC as it has its place for general 'edutainment' - educational games for kids, but this, I'm not sure is appropriate or even healthy for my son.
