Rating Video Games

Games are a great gift to give to children of all ages, for their birthday or Christmas. You can just see their little faces now filled with so much excitement, and they instantly jump up and give you a big hug. That is one of the best feelings. But it can become very difficult when you are trying to select the right game. There are so many different video game systems that you can purchase for them, or games for the systems that they already have, such as Playstation 2, PSP, Playstation 3, xbox, xbox 360, gamecube, nintendo DS, Gamboy Advance, and my favorite Wii.

Its important then you are looking to purchase a game for any of the gaming systems that you check the genre, ratings, and reviews. There are so many games out there that have far too much violence, blood and just is not meant for the age that you are looking to buy for.

Ratings is one of the most important things that you must take into consideration when you are purchasing a game for a child, especially one that is not your own. You will notice the ratings are right on the back cover of the game and they are generally rated E, E10, T and M. Its important that you understand which ratings are meant for which age group. So here are the ratings and their meanings.

E = Everyone
E10 = Everyone over 10
T = Teens
M= Mature (these games can be very very mature)

Its really easy to purchase games for the wrong system, especially if the child that you are buying for is not your own. There are so many systems for the same companies- like xbox and xbox 360. And many of the xbox games will not work for the xbox 360 system and vice versa. The same goes for Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 games, they are not compatible for every game. But no Playstation 3 games will work on Playstation 2 at all.

Checking out the many reviews online makes purchasing a game much easier. They will have a score next to them on many of the sites so you can easily see which games will be good.

Buying games for kids of all ages is easy to do and you should have no problem at all finding games that your kids, your sisters kids or your friends kids will be so excited to receive.
