Picture/Logo of Rating

- The Rating �C� is rarely used but is for 3 and up. Also games that are rated C are rarely ever made anymore.

- The rating �K-A� is the same thing as everyone but was used instead of everyone before 1998. This is for anyone over the age of 6. So this won�t be shown on newer releases..

- The rating " E " is for age groups 6 and older." E " stands for "Everyone" meaning� everyone who plays games can play this. This is like the G and PG rating for movies.� Most E games will never have any blood and just action elements and simple violence at the most.

- The rating " T " is for ages 13 and older.The rating " T " stands for "Teen". This is like the PG-13 rating for movies.� Most of the games in the industry are teen rated so this is what you will be seeing a lot.� Teen games usually have some blood in it, violence, violent scenes, but never to the extreme.
�

- The rating " M " is for ages 17 and older." M " stands for "Mature".� This is just like the R rating for movies. The game will be rated "Mature" because the game might have too much gore and blood.� There can also be profanity, sexual themes/elements, violence, and most of the things that little kids shouldn�t see..

The rating "RP" means not rated.It stands for "Rating Pending" A game will receive this rating when it is still in its developmental stage and ESRB is still unsure about what to give the game.

The rating " A " is for ages 18 and older. It stands for "Adult". There are very few Adult games and you will most definitely never find them in normal video game stores.� There are no Adult rated video games though, but there are a few Adult rated computer games.
