New FTC Report Calls for Stricter Rules for Selling Games

A much anticipated government report titled "Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of Self Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording and Electronic Gaming Industries" was released today. Written by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the report recommends that more should be done to address the way that media markets violent entertainment to children, and calls for stricter measures at the retail level to prevent minors from purchasing violent games. The entire report is available from the FTC web site here.
