Kids Games – Choosing The Right Video Games For Your Children
When video games were first introduced, we had basic games such as space invaders, Pac man and tennis – remember pong? Everyone loved to play and the games were age appropriate for all ages. Unfortunately, as the gaming graphics and technology improved, the realism grew right along with it. As a result, parents need to be on their toes when selecting age appropriate video games for their children.
Fortunately for parents, the gaming industry has put a ratings system in place to help select the right game for the age. This system is the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, also known as the ESRB. The purpose of this system is to rate all gaming software from the ones that are appropriate for everyone to the ones that are only appropriate for adults.
The ratings are as follows:
* EC (Early Childhood)
* E (Everyone)
* E 10+ (Everyone over 10 years of age)
* T (Teens)
* M (Mature, anyone over 17 years of age)
* AO (Adults only)
* RP (not yet rated)
These ratings are clearly printed on the front of every video games sold. Most of the games sold today range in the E to M ratings categories. Games that are rated E are fun for everyone. These are usually games such as Super Mario Brothers, Mario Cart, etc. These games have very little violence and the violence you may encounter could be things like a character jumping on a silly monster or your car crashing into a barrier. Of course no one gets hurt in these games and there is no blood or gory graphics.
The T games are made for Teens, however parents may want to be careful about these games and check them out before you buy them. T rated games have more mature games and may include fighting, real life type crashes and may show graphic scenes including blood.
The M games are rated M for mature themes. These are the types of games that have profanity, nudity, and extreme violence and gore. M rated games are definitely for adults only. Some kids may borrow one of these games from friends and try to sneak it past their parents. So constant vigilance is important when monitoring the games your children play.
Most retailers are very cautious about these video game ratings and they will require ID if someone under 17 tries to buy a game with a Mature rating. Many large retail stores will send in decoys to try to buy M rated games to test their employees. However, sometimes kids are still able to purchase games without ID.

Does anyone know where I can find Manhunt 2 the “Adults Only” version?
I’m a 46 year old computer programmer who is a Diehard video gammer. I’ve been hearing all kinds of wild stories about Manhunt 2, and I thought I would check out the game to see what all the criticism, and otherwise hysteria is about. I’ve also heard that “TAKE 2″ got worried about how most stores refussed to carry Manhunt 2 due to the graphic violence, so they wattered down the game some to earn a Mature rating, instead of Adults Only. So, I’m trying to buy the orginal version instead of the wattered down version that almost all of the reatail stores agreed to carry. Anyone know where I can look?
