ESRB Launches Free 'Rating Search App' for iPhone
by Jeff Mattas, Dec 01, 2009 4:40pm PSTJust in time for the holidays, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has released a free iPhone application providing instant access to detailed game ratings information. The application could prove to be a real asset for non-gaming parents who have trouble deciding how appropriate a game might be for their kids.
Straight-forward descriptions of a game's mature content and its context are now at Mom and Dad's fingertips. Rating summaries provided by the app go beyond the brief rating summary information displayed on the box. Parents will be able to see specific examples of potentially objectionable content that impacted the ESRB's classification.
The free ESRB App can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store, and you can take a gander at one of the short public service announcements that will soon air nationwide to promote the application.

I didn't realize it actually gave a summary of what you do in the game. I just hope the summaries aren't misleading.

What are they going to do, download and play every single iPhone app ever released in order to add their 2 bits of info about the game? Highly unlikely.

Anyone with an iphone could just as easily google the details of a game anyway.
The problem is not a lack of available information. The problem is that there are lots of parents who don't understand that it's their responsibility to be aware of what their kid is playing.
