According to the ESRB rating for Resident Evil 6, the game has been given a M “Mature” rating due to the violence, blood and gore, strong language and suggestive themes. However, the rating also reveals that the game contains nudity.
The upcoming MMORPG from Square-Enix has been rated as “Teen” by the ESRB. The online game is said to contain up-skirt shots, suggestive references and swear words.

According to the ESRB website, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has a total of 15 new PSP titles in the works. Most (if not all) of the games appear to be downloadable efforts, considering the simplistic quality of their descriptions; however, these games are unlikely to be part of PlayStation Minis, as they are rated exclusively for PSP (Minis are playable on the PSP and PS3).
ESRB is the entertainment rating system used in the US (PEGI for Europe), familiar to most gamers and parents. In order to educate parents about the rating system, SCEA are integrating a guide into the PSPgo device. The built-in guide provides a overview of the rating system and a step-by-step walkthrough of the device’s parental control features and settings.
