FTC report: retailers clamping down on M-rated game sales

Video Games – A new report from the Federal Trade Commission is praising the game industry for improved rates of turn-away for underage gamers trying to purchase M-rated games. In fact, it's much harder for kids to buy an M-rated game than it is to get a ticket to an R-rated movie or buy an R-rated DVD.

Now we have to take on the movie ratings. I can't believe what they think is appropriate for 13 year-olds.

I don't like censorship by the government. Can't the parents of these kids do their jobs.
