Not doing the stupid ***** that moron Thompson does.

Although severe penalties need (and should be) in place for any outlets that do end up selling to minors. Basically a penalty severe enough to stop any outlet doing it again (even to the point of putting them out of business)
Stores dont sell porn to minors, so why should ESRB rated materials be any different.
Although I dont agree that a minor can still get hold of stuff just because thier parent is with them - parents know squat, hence why they all need this education tactic.

Educate Parent to use the parental controls on the next gen systems, set the rating relative to the age of the children using the consoles. the ps3 for example can give each household user an account which have separate functionality level.

» X360 Vs. PS3 [Head to Head Deathmatch]
There’re so many stup+d PS3 fanboys right now who bark that PS3 is superior to X360 console; that’s the reason why I wrote this informal essay.
Let’s compare the most sold X360 game and the most sold PS3 game (HEAD TO HEAD DEATHMATCH); then talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Each category is worth 100 points unless mentioned. If it’s drawn, both get half points.
I spent much time to read about 10 different reviews on both games. Most sentences below are NOT my opinions (remember this). Most sentences below are from the reviews I read online.
[Epic’s Gears of War Vs. Insomniac’s Resistance: Fall of Man]
- Gameplay (300 pts): Resistance is a generic and mindless run & gunner. Epic adopted and improved Resident Evil 4’s point of view; then GoW’s over-the-shoulder revolutionized the gaming industry. Now, Sony’s best future games Uncharted Drake’s Fortune and Ratchet and Clank Future (when using weapons) both totally copied GoW’s point of view. Winner: GoW
- Graphics (300): GoW wins by a land-slide. No need to discuss more. Winner: GoW
- Awards: Many gamers bought GoW because it won so many awards. Winner: GoW
- Main character (200): Epic did a very good job on this. Marcus Fenix is as memorable as Halo’s Master Chief. Resistance’s Nathan is simply too boring to control. Winner: GoW
- Average review score: GoW got 94 from 172 different game related publications; Resistance got 89 from 164 publications; many gamers bought GoW because it got extremely high review scores.
Winner: GoW
- Level of Appealing (Fun Factor) (200): Resistance is all about run and gun like Halo 3 or Unreal Tournament 3. GoW has deep tactical play. Winner: GoW
- Online Modes (Multiplayer) (300): Resistance offers much more game types, but all of them are mindless run and gunner. GoW should have supported at least 8 versus 8 multiplay (4 Vs. 4 is just sub-standard). Winner: Drawn
- Single-player (SP): Resistance’s developers spent so much time, budget, and effort on this (Resistance’s SP is much longer); the thing is that Resistance’s SP is plainly boring and not even fun. Winner: GoW
- Weapons (200): Resistance has technically extremely advanced weapons, but these weapons are not balanced for multiplay. GoW has much less number of weapons; the thing is that lancer (the gun with chainsaw) alone is better (the powerful feeling; sound, lighting, and decal effects) than all weapons in Resistance combined. Torque bow and boomshot are extremely well made, too. Winner: GoW
- Music & Sound Effects (300): Resistance’s sound is on average; GoW’s sound is superb (especially guns and explosion sounds are mind-blowing). Winner: GoW
- Longevity (Replay Value) (300): Resistance’s run and gun gets old extremely quickly. Winner: GoW
- Technical Advancement (200): Resistance’s extremely huge maps + 42-player online + Resistance’s bull’s eye and sapper guns. Winner: Resistance
- General Concept & Originality: Resistance is a copycat of Half Life, Call of Duty, and Unreal Tourney. Winner: GoW
- Character Animation: Both games offer silky smooth movement of units. Winner: Drawn
- (NPC’s) A.I.: GoW’s AI is better made. Epic did a very good job here. If you kill one enemy in GoW, you feel satisfied and rewarded; if you kill one (or ten) enemy in Resistance, you feel bored and lame (LOL). Winner: GoW
- Atmosphere (Presentation) (200): GoW’s sci-fi movie like mood is all over the places. Winner: GoW
- Interface (attention to detail, how polished is the final game?): Winner: Drawn
- Overall Impressiveness (300): In general, GoW even deeply impresses diehard Sony fanboys. Winner: GoW
Finally, GoW won by f+cking huge margin.
- Resistance’s total score: 450 points
- GoW’s total score: 3,050 points
I said at the start that we need to talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Now, let’s talk about that. Which console is superior? If you’re still trying to defend your pathetic PS3 console then you must be illiterate and blind, period.

First off those games has nothing to do with consoles only FPS. So unless your trying to impress someone with those lame comparisons dont speak. How about talking about the actual systems than games. And the fact that this has nothing to do with ratings is also lame.
