Video Game Belt Loop: Explain the Rating System


The Video Game Rating System is because like, let's say that your kid wanted a video game that the title was "Call of Duty." How would you know if it was appropriate for him? I mean, first you think it's like a math game and the next thing you know your kids character is shooting some dude with an assault rifle! So they invented the Video Game Rating System that way you know that your kid is not doing that. Here's how it works:


The first level is E for Everyone. Things like Mario and if they make them, an Americas Funniest Home Videos fame.


Games for little bitty kids are games that are rated EC for Early Childhood.


E 10+ which are games for ages 10 and up. I'm 10, btu sometimes I like to play games like Tony Hawk's American Wasteland which is rated T because it has swears in it. Plus sometimes there's a little bit of bleeding because it's about skateboarding....even when your guy is wearing kneepads, elbow pads, helmet and handpads.


T games are for Teens, and these games are very cool mostly because there's a lot of action and excitement. My mom only lets me play T games that are sports and Naruto.


M games are for mature, which means a lot a violence. Which makes me want to play them but my mom says NO. NO. NO. Mature games are for adults only.
