"PEGI ratings 'need improvement"

At the first...Do U know "PEGI"???


PEGI means The Pan European Game Information.
This is the system which opens the game information to the public in the Europe.
Games are classified in some symbols by ministry of UK media sports.
but thing like this is done in japan.
For example, Japanese game industry put a limit on violence games.

After I read this article and examined about "PEGI" system, I think it is good system.
Especially it's good for childrens parents.
Parents need to know what game their children play.
Recently case of murder have happened by young person.
I think one of cause is violence video games.
I wish more strict system is introduced into Japanese game industory!!!!!
