It is surprising that these games got plastered with an M rating that they didn't deserve. The game was originally rated T, but got switched to M after they discovered a mod that could be implemented on PC that made the females appear topless when they had no clothes on. Other than that one instance that could easily be patched, the game doesn't have the extreme violence that you would find in other rated M titles and has no sexual content whatsoever.
There are a few instances where characters curse, but it is few and far between. Mass Effect is a game that has been up for debate on whether it deserves the M rating it received. There is minimal swearing in the game that would be cause for such a harsh rating and the violence is nothing more than standard sci-fi shooter elements you would find in any movie.
You shoot aliens with minimal to no blood and one of the only scenes that show gore shows almost no blood as the character is impaled on a large spike. There is sexual content, but it is nothing more that what we have seen in PG movies. Counter-Strike is among other shooters that have been labeled that inappropriate M rating for lack of solid reasoning. Counter-Strike doesn't have the excessive blood that other shooters have and is rather relaxed when it comes to its cursing.
Granted it has scenes where you interact violently with unarmed people , but does that really justify the M rating that it has been branded with? Counter-Strike is by far one of the most relaxed shooter games that have come into the market. Devil May Cry 4 is another game that doesn't really have any blood as you hack, slash, and shoot your way through demon spawns.
You just have to be 17 to buy. In the United States, there have been attempts at the state and federal level to introduce laws requiring retailers to enforce the ESRB ratings system.
As in the U. I don't know if there is a specific age, however, at Gamestop in the United States, you have to be at least 18 years of age to use the cash option, instead of the gift card option. Some research finds that violent video game use is correlated with, and may cause , increases in aggression and decreases in prosocial behavior.
Other research argues that there are no such effects of violent video games. Firstly video games should be banned because they are way to violent and are an extremely bad influence on younger children. When children play violent video games they find it fun so they copy what the charechters do and grow up to be a violent person.

Graphic and realistic-looking depictions of physical conflict. The study surveyed retail stores in the United States. The best results, the FTC said, were at GameStop stores, where only 6 percent of unders were able to buy the M-rated games. The worst was Hollywood Video, where 40 percent succeeded. It's no surprise that GameStop led the charts for restricting kids from buying M-rated games, as the retailer generally keeps those games behind the counter.
It is, however, a bit surprising that Wal-Mart fared so well. We commend and applaud retailers for their strong support of the ESRB ratings, and will continue working with them to help ensure that these levels of compliance are sustained if not further increased.
