Import Ratings Systems....

[teck]

This was brought up quite a while back, but I forget which thread, and it seems it was never implemented so....  I'll just leave this here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Entertainment_Rating_Organization

and also this since I have some Korean games and will likely get more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Rating_Board

I'm not familiar with other regions, but I may familiarize myself with other Oceanic stuff soon enough....  I'll probably update this thread then....

How do you think these should be listed?

CERO A (Japan)
CERO B (Japan)
etc.

Oh yeah, I made that topic about adding in the Australian ratings and Matt said he would add them that night (that was 36 days ago)

No hard feelings, just hoping they eventually get added, haha

ESRB EC
ESRB E
ESRB E10+
ESRB KA
ESRB T

Well there's a lot of ratingsystems in the world. But I think the british one that was used before should be added.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Board_of_Film_Classification

USK system from Germany

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterhaltungssoftware_Selbstkontrolle

VET/SFB system fron Finland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valtion_elokuvatarkastamo

IGAC from Portugal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspec%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Geral_das_Actividades_Culturais

Most of these have adopted the PEGI system, only Germany still uses USK. These would be common on games 2-3 years & older.

... those are already on the site. We have ESRB, PEGI, ESLPA and VRC.

One of the reasons why we still haven't added these is that we need a guide for people to distinguish the ratings themselves. I keep rejecting BBFC ratings because people keep confusing them with ELSPA, for example. I've also had a hard time finding images to help people distinguish between them all.

I think that would be appropriate yes....  I think I may work on a guide for these over the next few weeks if foxhack thinks its needed....  I'll review the stuff Veilor posted too....  Also Campercarl, don't worry about it too much, Matt has too much on his plate as it is....  Like I said we'd discussed the Japanese ratings a few months ago a little but I'm sure the work here is over bearing already so just expect that things may take some time....
