    This article has brought up a interesting question for me. "Should the ESRB rename their ratings to be just like movies?" Instead of E, T, and M how about PG, PG-13, and R? It might help since the rating "Mature" sounds a little harsh, and with the same ratings it would be easier for parents that have no knowledge about video games be able to choose correctly. Anyone else think this might be a idea worth taking a look at or is it just not necessary?
