The rating board, which is supported by the industry, does not review the game’s entire content, instead relying on reviews that has led to numerous problems with inappropriate content being marketed to children.
Numerous? Try zero. Neither example you're thinking of were marketed to children. Even if they were, "two" hardly qualifies as numerous.

It could but it didn't. I didn't see any marketing for Oblivion that targeted children. I guess I could have missed them but because Bethesda didn't have to change any of their marketing materials beyond reflecting the new rating, I'm confident in my claim that the game was never marketed to kids in the first place.
Seriously...I only know of 2 Instances where content wasn't seen, and even if this act was enforced, what the hell would it change if this was enforced before those 2 instances.

you think you can attack an industry making false accusations such as "relying on reviews that has led to numerous problems with inappropriate content being marketed to children"
1. name how the game is being marketed 2. name how the "inappropriate content" is being marketed
Rate the entire game, huh?gamereviewgodAugust 21 2006, 13:06:33 UTC
They should have pushed harder, especially with the "full content before rating" issue. I really want to hear him respond about how they're supposed to play 60 years of a franchise in Madden.
Figure 15 games a year (not even including playoffs) at around an hour each game, and you're looking at 900 hours of gameplay time. Wouldn't the ESRB need to play the entire franchise mode to ensure something doesn't show up in year 45? Technically, simming seasons all the way there wouldn't work either because they wouldn't be playing the games now would they?
He doesn't seem to have any grasp on what the games entail or how physically impossible it would be to play each game completely, and that's pathetic. He should NOT be speaking out against them in that case, but hey, facts are meaningless, right?

GTA: San Andreas and Oblivion is "numerous"? Is this guy even aware how many games come out per year?
Further, "being marketed to children"? On which planet?
