Why We'll Never See Violence in The 'Game Room.'

Microsoft have found a unique and quite sly way of getting around the process of each individual game receiving an ESRB rating in their upcoming XBL add-on the 'Game Room.'

Instead of getting each game rated before release, like Nintendo do with their Virtual Console, they'll just put them there with little delay, and without being 're'-rated. The only catch is because the 'Game Room' is rated at an E10+, every game that will be releaed will also be E10+. This is sad news for any people who expected to such classics as Mortal Combat or Streets of Rage.

Although the ESRB rating is used only in North America it is highly likely that the same rules will be seen worldwide.
