Video game watchdog group turns attention to parental responsibility
The National Institute on Media and the Family released its 11th annual video game report card this week. The group is counseling parents to take a stronger role in shielding their children from inappropriate games. The targeting of parents instead of video game makers and retailers reflects a different strategy this year, according to the Institute's David Walsh.
The primary trade group for video games, the Entertainment Software Association, is applauding the Institute's video game report card. President Doug Lowenstein says it's about time video game critics focused on parents.
