Rated V for Violence



This article informed me that not all states have legislation in place the limits the sale of video games rated for violence to minors.  I had just assumed since it was restricted where I lived that it was restricted everywhere.  I also had not realized that the Californian law that had been overturned and is now going to the Supreme Court was signed on October of 2002, it has been 8 years and it is still going through the court system.  As well as talking about how little some parents actually understand the ESRB rating system, or how many actually use it to judge whether or not their child should be playing a game.  The article throws in that with easter eggs in games, like Grand Theft Autos: Hot Coffee, is the ESRB rating system even valid.
