Quotes

PushStartSelect: "Recently I read an article about how ESRB ratings are “not required” and how they could eventually be ignored. This is entirely possible because many industries have done it at one point or another. Comic books were being completely killed by third party ratings, which forced companies like Marvel to create their own “third party” rating system to allow more leverage on what content they provide. Of course movie’s have probably the strongest rating company out there, but ESRB has yet to reach that point." (Android, ESRB, iPad, iPhone, Mobile, PC, PS3, Xbox 36
"If you don't know/remember, MHT released with two versions. The "Standard" version was just the game for $49.99, but there was also a Classic Controller Pro bundle, game and controller, with a MSRP of just $59.99. The game received an ESRB rating of "Teen" with "Blood, Use of Alcohol, Violence" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of, and was developed and published by Capcom. When I was writing 2011's "A Year's Worth of Data" report, the game had already seen several price drops and could be found for under $30 for the software only version. Fast forward to 2012 now, and MHT can be found for under $20 on Amazon.com and retailers like GameStop. How many hours over the last 2 years have U S residents reported hunting monsters? Let's take a look!" , writes CoffeeWithGames. (Industry, , , Wii)
...thrilled to offer this unique title to gamers everywhere today," said Guy Longworth, Senior Vice President, PlayStation Brand Marketing, SCEA. "Built from the ground up with PlayStation MoveMove in mind from the beginning, Sorcery takes full advantage of our motion controller's precision to provide a compelling gaming experience that is sure to capture the imaginations of players of all ages."
