UK Video Game Study: "Protect the Children"

A British government-supported review of current video game ratings states that the current system needs to be overhauled, incorporating more stringent ratings and extra bloatware for new computers that would "protect" young people from the nasty-bad online world. I guess parents actually watching their kids use the computer would be too straightforward.

Jordan's quickie guide to video-game violence: * If the title alludes to crime; * If the cover art depicts weapons (anthropomorphic animals nonwithstanding); * If the title contains the phrase "God of War"; * If the main character is an escaped convict ... then the game likely has violence. Having said that, the material contained on the DVD is a game and not a documentary film. Proceed accordingly, and with your best judgement.
