Video Games: What the ESRB Rating Means

RATE: 
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Rating 5.00 (1 Vote)
Games that haven't been released may get an RP - rating pending - rating as it is evaluated, so it's best to wait until the game comes out to see the rating. Another helpful addition that the ESRB has made recently are the content descriptors included on the back cover of all games, which tell you the type of content you can expect from the game. This brief information can give you the levels of sex, language and violence in the game, plus alert you to the presence of alcohol use, tobacco use, gambling, drugs and even blood. Take a close look at the ESRB ratings the next time you buy a video game to be sure you know what your child is playing.
