Introduction

This site aims to give you the information necessary to make intelligent video game buying decisions. We are proud to participate in the game industry's standardized rating system, developed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). The ESRB ratings are designed to give consumers information about the content of an interactive video or computer entertainment title and the ages for which the title is appropriate. The ratings are not meant to tell you what to buy or to serve as the only basis for choosing a product. In addition to using the ratings, consumers should check out content descriptions for more specific information about a game's content. You can find this information, if applicable, on the product information pages under the Note to Customers advisory.

ESRB Ratings Defined

Titles rated Early Childhood (EC) have content suitable for children ages 3 and up and do not contain any material that parents would find inappropriate.

Titles rated Everyone (E) have content suitable for people ages 6 and up. These titles will appeal to people of many ages and tastes. They may contain minimal violence, some comic mischief (slapstick comedy, for example), or some crude language. This rating was formerly known as Kids to Adult (K-A).

Titles rated Everyone 10 and Older (E10+) have content that may be suitable for ages 10 and older. Titles in this category may contain more cartoon, fantasy or mild violence, mild language, and/or minimal suggestive themes.

Titles rated Teen (T) have content suitable for people ages 13 and up. Titles in this category may contain violent content, mild or strong language, and/or suggestive themes.

Titles rated Mature (M) have content suitable for people ages 17 and up. These products may include more intense violence or language than products in the Teen category. In addition, these titles may include mature sexual themes.

Titles rated Adults Only (AO) have content suitable only for adults. These products may include graphic depictions of sex and/or violence. Adults Only products are not intended to be sold or rented to persons under the age of 18.
