I was just about to say the same thing.

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ -- this is really common in Europe as UK has the biggest video game market in EU. There are countless BBFC rated games listed in VGC currently so this is something that should be added.

I can also tell you that some of those rating boards that htimreimer listed above are not actually rating anything video game related. VET/SFB (Finnish Board of Film Classification) is one of these as far as I know... we use PEGI rating system as a part of European Union. Before PEGI was around we had ELSPA.

I was planning on adding a writeup of all the rating boards that we should be able to implement eventually. But I got distracted by Dungeons of Dredmor. :p

Ya I know. Hopefully Matt can get at least the most used ones added soon.

I thought it was going to be about implementing a rating system for games, like a 4-star or 1-10 rating system.

A lot of those initially listed don't have anything to do with video games, but it'd be nice to see CERO ratings finally added.

There's tons of games with a BBFC rating. For some reason.

These days the only way you can get a BBFC rating on a game is if you're releasing a porny one.

They still use BBFC rating nowadays and not just for porny (http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii128/AnoniclePC/GAMES/GearsOfWar3Xbox360.jpg) ones :)
