It's got sod all to do with better ratings
and everything to do with monitoring your own kids entertainment content.
Unfortunately, this topic will have every opinionated tosser talking about 'their concerns'. Just don't buy the games for your kids, or if you have them, don't let your kids play them, or watch you play them. Simple.

My kids can't wait until they're a bit older
Simpsons' Hit and Run just isn't violent enough for them, they're desperate to get onto the original Grand Theft Auto.
Can't say I blame them.

my ten year old is the same
but he knows that there is a line of appropriateness, and GTA is on the other side of that line. Same with other titles I've got, Bioshock, Gears Of War.

There was a couple of parents moaning about
"Better legislation" needed on GMTV yesterday. And then they interviewed the kids who said that the aforementioned parents bought 15/18 rated games for them...
?!?!?!?!

I agree.
It's the parents that need to take responsibility for what their kids are doing, if they think it's ok for a 9 year old to play an 18 game then I would call that abuse as your exposing a child to come quite nasty images and violence. Would they plonk them down in front of the Saw films and then blame the regulators for not being explicit when the kid has nightmares? Tossers the lot of 'em.
