Take-Two tells parents to check ratings this Christmas

Ratings are good!Well that's just nice of them. Take-Two Interactive has sent out this holiday-themed press release for people to take a look at. If you were a parent, what they've posted is actually very useful.

Perhaps it's in light of the increasing denouncement of videogames and gaming culture in general that Take-Two is reminding parents to check the ratings for games, if they plan on getting one for little Jack or Hillary this Christmas. They've not only made the warning clear - that video games have ratings because some of them aren't meant for the young ones - but they've also taken the time to list the ratings system down.

As Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's president mentions, "The holidays are a reminder for all of us to be aware of the ESRB rating when purchasing video games as gifts." While we doubt every parent will be listening to this call for sensibility in their purchases (we wish they'd give this out in actual stores), it's a good gesture, even if you're pretty sure it's darned good advertising.

That's a non-issue when it comes to the DS. Nearly 90% DS-games are kid-friendly.

By replying you have clearly proved they are getting your attention. Idiot.
