I think it's great that stores are enforcing these things. It's about time that it started to happen. America has been lagging behind the rest of the world on this front. However it is a pity that things have to go this way.



My own parents never went solely on a ratings system when it came to me and videos. If I was too young according to the rating, they'd watch the video themselves. If it was suitable then the next morning it would be left out by the video player for me to watch. It's a pity this won't happen with computer games, so it's up to the shops to do it.



I'd love to work in a games shop. I've been in shops so many times when the staff are telling parents about a game, when they obviously haven't a clue, getting facts about the games wrong and mixing games up. I've started talking to the parents myself now, and telling them what games are good and what isn't, etc.



If shops started to do this, things would be a lot better. Parents would be more informed, and better able to make decisions, and the kids would get better games But for some reason a lot of games shops don't employ gamers. Which is where the change is going to come from. Parents aren't going to read a leaflet, and people are quick to cop on if someone is spouting bull***** at them. We need more gamers selling games.
