Well now, there's an app for your smartphone that can help...
Search for the "ESRB" application using your Android-enabled phone or an iPhone.
Once you have the application, simply take a picture of the video game while your at the store to pull up the associated ESRB content. For video games rated after July 1, 2008, you'll be provided a detailed description of why a particular rating was assigned to the game.

I Agree
Kids can be 6 and play M rated games, like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty and Halo. Just so sad. Good thing they made ratings. Now I read ratings when I see a video game, even though I'm only 10.
