Video Game Ratings--Smart Shopping Tip
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-04-08 03:00:06
As many other moms video games are one of the top requested items on my kids' Christmas enumerate (of course they are only allowed to ask for one item so it exceed be good). Fortunately. I'm glad I don't have to go into the gaming world blind. All video games have an ESRB rating (Entertainment Software Rating Board) so make sure you check it out before making that acquire. Here's the rundown:EC: Early Childhood (ages 3 and older) contains nothing questionable so it's a good buy. E: Everyone (usually ages 6 and up) this is the cram my kids use. It may contain very minimal cartoon violence but all in all pretty safe. E 10+: Everyone 10 and up (usually ages 10 and up) this may contain mild cartoon or fantasty violence mild language or suggestive themes. You be to be careful here if you are buying these games. alter sure they are allot for your child's age and (just on a personal say here) if they are not allowed to play these games make sure you tell them that before they go to a friend's accommodate and compete them and end up grounded for two weeks. T: Teen (ages 13 and up) this may include violence suggestive themes crude humor gambling strong language. This is where I displace the line so check it out carefully and read plenty of reviews. M: Mature (ages 17 and up) intense violence blood and gore sexual circumscribe and strong language. Yuck! This is where you give those shoppers picking these items up the "evil mommy eye" and go away. AO: Adults Only (ages 18 and up) these include prolonged scense of intense violence and/or graphic sexual circumscribe and nudity. You could buy these but why not save money and just lick the inside of the dumpster outside the porn shop?RP: Rating Pending. This hasn't been rated yet so read lots of reviews and communicate to like-minded parents. Personally. I am so glad to undergo a rating system like this. It helps me be a smart shopper around the holidays. Also there are some great ways to set the parental controls on your gaming system (just in inspect Billy from down the street decides to go over for a visit and bring along Grand Theft Auto).
