Should I blog? Yes. Answer: Yes.
This particular blog is another games blog!
Who likes games? I do!
Here are my game experiences of today:
- Playing MK Wii with friends across wi-fi is very fun.
- Boys (or maybe it’s just my brothers) are very critcal about how you play games!
- Angry Bird is so funny and fun
- Bejeweled 2 looks pretty fun too but I haven’t played it yet.
So lots of things are fun and good in the world of gaming. But I was watching Good Game (Aussie gamer program) on TV the other night and I got a bit of background information about something NOT so good and fun in the world of gaming, namely the ongoing debate about R18+ ratings for games in Australia.
I’m not really sure that that website really provides all the information you need to really understand it, but if you want to know more just have a scout around on Google. Or you can go here (Good Game’s website), click “play video” and really get into it!
Basically most people want an R18+ rating on games becasue it makes it much easier for parents to see exactly what their children are playing, and it allows older gamers to really know they’re playing an R18+ game and not just an R18+ game watered down until it’s MA15+ rated just so it can get into the country. However, some politicians don’t think games need an R18+ rating because “games are for children”, and any games that could possibly deserve an R18+ rating is so inappropriate it should just be banned.
So, basically, the world of games is full of silliness and happiness and seriousness and frustration! Very mixed up!
One last word – Australia is currently the only developed country with no R18+ rating for games.
What do you think about the R18+ rating argument?
