Korean MMO dance battle game Audition seems innocuous enough. Just look at the above ad for the PSP version. Nothing out of place going on there! The game has an "All" rating, which means that underage gamers can play it and have their avatars bump and grind into each other. The game play for the PC version is rather revealing. What's more, the online game encourages players to "pair" up with members of the Audition online community, and many of the members are underage females. According to an article on Korean site KH Games, some of these girls end up sexual relationships with adults, selling their bodies to get money to buy items for their Audition avatars. The article profiles one underage female gamer who slept with her adult "partner" and how it affected her mentally and physically — She's picked up smoking. Kotaku commenter Torokun smartly points out that this looks like a "complete failure of the rating system." Meaning, that this isn't exactly an "All" rated game and nor should it be labeled as such. There is an American version of Audition as well which features member profile pictures that are either women or babies, oddly. Brian Ashcraft
