What SHOULD Games be Rated(ESRB wise)
I think Battlefield 3 multiplayer should be T. And I wish Skyrim would be T. Tell me the true ratings of games so I can convince my dad to let me play Skyrim. My friend told me there were guys in Skyrim called Graybeards. XD
Heavy artillery is the answer to everything! Try it.

Well, I think it was stupid how Super Smash Bros. Brawl was rated T. It should have been E or E10+.
Melee was T though.

I think it was rated T for the blood on Master Hand's knuckles in Sub-space Emisarry.
It's my birthday. Deal with it.

Skyrim can be pretty harsh, should be M, but I think all M games without sexual references (which contrary to popular belief, Skyrim does not have) can be played by 13 year olds

EDIT: Disregard everything I said. TF2 stays where it is.

No, TF2 should be where it stands. Great game, but it has blood, gore, moderate swearing, and somewhat offensive material. One item mentions clubbing baby seals to death in style.

Ditto.
I'm also with you guys on the SSBB rating thing. It should be E10. If only Nintendo left out the blood on the hand. Then ESRB might go lighter on them (doubt it, though), and they'd get more sales, meaning more money, meaning better games for the 3DS.

ESRB is going heavier on games these days. Now, 1 punch will land it an E10 rating. If you made that game now instead of in the past, it'd get an instant T.

That's different. The punches were in a SPORT. Not true, beat-this-guy-up violence.

They both come from the same source of PETA's complaints about seal clubbing. Of course they would be similar.

Not really. I consider SSBB a sport, an arena fighting game. What about Pokemon? They throw plenty of punches.

Ah well. KoL does it better though.

Truthfully, all video games need some level of maturity to play, but do you have a reason why you'd limit video gaming to persons over 18 (based on rating and, if I'm not mistaken, who can buy it)?

I WISH games could be that offensive nowadays.

Video games are distractions I don't think kids in general cannot handle right. They aren't really productive and are overall unnecessary. I think legitimately educational ones are nice, though, because they aren't a complete waste. Complete-wastes of distractions don't do any good, I'd think, to a developing mind
Adults have reason for wanting distractions
