Parents need to know that this well-organized console hub is a popular site for gaming fans. Some of the games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV, are featured with screen shots and video that has some stuff that isn't so great for kids and younger teens. There's a whole host of characters behaving badly in some games. Fortunately, the ESRB ratings are listed and can help parents make smart choices of what to get for their kids, but that won't prevent much: The very weak safeguard that kids need to view more violent content is simply to enter their date of birth; this clearly won't prevent kids who want to see the more violent game clips from doing so.
Educational value:ESRB ratings can help parents and kids make appropriate decisions about which games to buy.
Positive messages:Some of the games highlighted on this site are not appropriate for kids due in part to the violent content, adult characters smoking, objectified women characters. On the plus side, for gaming fans, the site has news and a blog that includes info from game creators and discussion about games.
Violence:Promos of some games have very violent screen shots, audio and video, including weapons of all kinds and dead bodies or figures of people in the process of being wounded or killed, especially in war-related action. ESRB ratings are listed.
Sex:Video of some games includes sexually suggestive images, but there are ESRB ratings listed. One scene from GTA IV shows a silhouette of a stripper pole dancing. In another game's promo video, the main shot of a woman is essentially a view of her cleavage.
Language:ESRB ratings, including language warnings, are listed.
Consumerism:There is a "Buy Now" button on each game's main page and a link to an online PlayStation store. Big ticket items like a $499.99 MGS4 game bundle are highlighted.
