Lesson 18 - Video Game Ratings - LESSON FOR MONDAY

1. Visit the four links below and have a read

Age Ratings @ Ask About Games
The Last of Us screenshot
 
2. You are to produce a report on Video Game Regulation and Ratings Systems
 
Sections to consider:
 
  • What is Pegi?
  •  
  • Why is it being introduced?
  •  
  • How did games previously receive ratings?
  •  
  • What changes for publishers, retailers and developers?
  •  
  • What issues are there with this system being implemented?
 
You will need to do some reading around this subject: Not Wikipedia but reading around the computer games industry press - look at the Bloglinks I have on the right hand side. However, these are just for starters: You will need to read a few of your own to get a good understanding of the role that video game regulation plays in the videogames industry.
