    The Tehran Times is reporting that Iran will soon be adopting the ESRB for it's video game ratings. Check it out:
    The managing director of the National Foundation for Computer Games Behruz Minaii announced that Iran will be joining the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) next week.

    ESRB ratings are designed to provide concise and impartial information about the content of computer and video games so consumers, especially parents, can make an informed purchase decision.

    In a press conference held here on Tuesday Minaii noted that the program would be initiated in a ceremony held at the Andisheh Hall of the Art Bureau on Saturday, December 27.

    A group of officials from the ministries of culture and education, and several computer games producers are to attend the ceremony.

    Minaii added that the idea of joining ESRB was initiated last year and since then, 20 experts from different religious, psychological, social and media organizations have worked on compiling the project.

    “Afterwards, several members of the Guardian Council and scholars of the Qom Seminary and different universities of the country did the final editing,” he remarked.

    The first part of the plan is now ready and the next parts will also be completed through establishing this organization, he stated. Read More...
