SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The video game ratings system will add a new category to protect children under 10 from seeing certain kinds of violence, the board that administers the system said on Wednesday.


The Entertainment Software Rating Board said "E10+" would mark games that might contain "moderate amounts of cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language and/or minimal suggestive themes."


The E10+ rating will reside on the scale between "E," meaning a game is appropriate for all ages, and "T," meaning a game for teenagers. The ratings system also includes "M" ratings for those over 17 and the rarely-used "AO" for adult audiences only.


The ESRB said it expected most top sports, racing and adventure games would continue to take an E rating, while racing games with graphic crashes and fighting games with superheroes would likely take an E10+.


The ESRB rates virtually every game released in the United States. Its system has been praised by the federal government as one of the most effective in the media industry.

did you copy and paste that, or did you actually write it?
If you actually wrote it yourself, maybe you should take up a career in Journaling???

Hmm, is journaling a profession in which you get paid to write in your journal?

Perhaps journalism might be a better choice...
