Surely, you have heard of children talking about the latest video games for their PlayStation 2. As parents, you are always on the lookout to make sure that your children only play those games that are appropriate for them. So, here are the games in the different categories that you can consider suitable for your children, based on their ages.

The first would be the E-rated games. These would be the “everyone’s” games. These could be SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer or even Madden `08 or any of the other sports video games. Probably the best age-appropriate games would be those that go from the movie screen to the game console. Examples would be Cars, Madagascar, Meet the Robinsons along with the others in which you have already seen the endings.

Next would be the T or “teen” video games. These would be those games that offer slightly more detailed graphics. An example would be WWE Smackdown vs. RAW. You could expect some violence and sexual graphics. However, when death comes into play, the graphic gore is not there.

Finally, it would be the M or “Mature” games. These would be the games that only adults could really understand. There are many more bloody and sexual narratives and murder is often graphic. An example of these games would be Grand Theft Auto, where there is a lot of shooting at police officers and the uprising of prostitutes. God of War and Metal Gear are also examples due to how people die and their overall strategy.
