Added: 27.03.2013 5:18 | 0 views | 0 comments


"For this Movie Magic Monday, we are taking a look at how many hours have been reported trying to train dragons! How to Train Your Dragon was released for the Wii on March 23, 2010, just a few days before the movie it was based on. Surprisingly (to me anyway), this movie tie-in game was developed by Etranges Libellules, the same studio that developed the last Movie Magic Monday game we looked at, but it was published by Activision. The game received an ESRB rating of "EVERYONE 10+" with "Fantasy Violence" listed as content for parents and gamers to be aware of. About how many U.S. Wii owners have gameplay data reported and how many hours have been reported playing How to Train Your Dragon, since it released just over 3 years ago? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.

FTC: Game industry most compliant with M-rated game sales

Added: 25.03.2013 20:57 | 0 views | 0 comments


Federal Trade Commission undercover shopper study shows games beat out CDs, film, and DVDs at making sure content isn't viewed by underage eyes.

A new Federal Trade Commission undercover shopper survey published today found that United States game retailers continue to be the most compliant with enforcing age-based ratings. According to the group's data, only 13 percent of underage secret shoppers were able to purchase M-rated games in 2012. This figure is unchanged since the last study was published in 2010.

Meanwhile, 24 percent of underage shoppers were able to buy tickets to R-rated movies (down from 33 percent in 2010), while 30 percent of underage shoppers were able to purchase R-rated DVDs (down from 38 percent in 2010). The least compliant group was the music CDs contingent, which allowed 47 percent of underage shoppers to buy albums with explicit content.

The FTC conducted the study by asking groups of 13- to 16-year-olds to attempt to purchase R-rated movie tickets, R-rated DVDs, music CDs with warnings of explicit content, and games rated M for Mature while unaccompanied by a parent. The study was conducted between April and June 2012 at national and regional chain stores and theaters across the US.

Entertainment Software Rating Board president Patricia Vance commented on the study in a statement provided to GameSpot.

"We applaud video game retailers for once again demonstrating our industry's ongoing commitment to parents. Enforcement of video game sales policies continues to be substantially higher than that for any other entertainment industry," she said. "This success is due in part to retail partnership programs like the ESRB Retail Council, through which we regularly conduct our own mystery shops to help retailers maintain a high level of store policy enforcement. We will continue these responsible efforts with unwavering dedication to serving parents."

US trade judge says Xbox 360 does not violate patents from Google.

A United States trade judge has ruled that Microsoft's Xbox 360 does not violate Motorola patents, according to a new report from , International Trade Commission judge David Shaw sided with Microsoft in the lawsuit.

"We are pleased with the Administrative Law Judge's finding that Microsoft did not violate Motorola's patent and are confident that this determination will be affirmed by the Commission," Microsoft corporate vice president and deputy general counsel David Howard told the site.

As part of the decision, Google is allowed to call on the commission to overrule the judge's findings and thus enact an import ban on Xbox 360 consoles.

"We are disappointed with today's determination and look forward to the full Commission's review," Google spokesperson Matt Kallman said in a statement.

In April last year, the ITC ruled that the Xbox 360 , though it had no immediate effect, because Microsoft was granted a preliminary injunction.

Microsoft previously that would have the Seattle tech giant pay a royalty fee of 2.25 percent on every Xbox 360 sold.
