The US legally recognizes video games as an art form

[quote name='CH82']Hopefully being classified as art helps beat down those censors[/QUOTE]

"Those censors" are typically big box stores like Walmart that won't sell r-rated games, thus dooming sales targets.

Wal-mart sells M-rated games--which is the R equivalent.

Pretty much no where will sale the AO (Adults Only) related games--equivalent of NC-17--so Wal-mart and the other big box stores aren't alone in hampering those games. Even the game stores won't carry them.
 
I actually think that the R equivalent of a game would be AO. Almost every M game out there could totally be PG-13. Honestly, we need another rating or something. Mass Effect isn't an M type of game.
 
Nah, that's pretty much the same as movies. There are plenty of R rated movies that should be PG 13 and just got an R for language etc.

Even with in movies you have reviews having to say some movies are a "hard R". Same with games where some are a "hard M-Rated" and others really probably could have been a lower rating.
