The ESRB sent out a graph of 2009’s games ratings (see image below):

The results are fairly consistent with prior years in which 94% of the ratings we assigned were E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone 10 and older), and T (Teen).  The remaining 6% of games were rated M (Mature).  We feel this helps to demonstrate the continued great mix of games for various interests and ages.

So it seems that games are not getting more violent as some would have us believe. The industry is not spiraling down into moral depravity and games are apparently not made by Satan (as one blogging mom said recently).

So stick that in your shotgun and blow a zombie away with it!
