Senator Joe Lieberman and NILF founder David Walsh presented the 11th Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card today. The report card grades how well retailers and parents work towards making sure their kids are playing the right games. Retailers and console developers got the big thumbs up this year. Guess who didn't.

"While improvements have been made by the video game industry and retailers, parental involvement received an "Incomplete" as surveys showed too few parents following the ESRB's [Entertainment Software Ratings Board] ratings and parental controls on gaming consoles."

Why are parents being graded? Everyone knows it isn't their responsibility to raise their children. That's probably why they got the incomplete instead of a big ol' F.

This is proof that the failing lies with adults who either don't know or don't care what their children play, at least until they start shooting other children. Then it's time to sue a game developer. Crecente needn't be concerned over the NIMF's game watch list. It's not like parents are going to read it. Michael Fahey
