ESRB to Provide More Detailed Game Rating Summaries
Posted November 12th, 2008 in News by Sean Beanland
As most people here know, the Entertainment Software Rating Board is the organization responsible for rating videogames in the United States. Unlike other countries, the ESRB is not run by the government, but by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).
Games currently feature the rating on the front of the packaging, with a list of the content on the back such as “blood,” “strong language,” and others.
Starting today, all games rated since July 1st, 2008, will now feature far more detailed content summaries on ESRB.org. More than the content listings on the back of the box, it’ll give a much better idea of what you can expect in a game.
Check out an example after the jump.
