‘Beer Pong’ game’s teen-friendly rating criticized
Connecticut’s attorney general isn’t happy that a video game called Beer Pong was rated suitable for children as young as 13. Richard Blumenthal says that was a mistake by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. He wants the video games rating board to change its methods so games involving alcohol aren’t recommended to minors.
The game is made by Las Vegas-based JV Games and designed for Nintendo’s popular Wii game system. The name of the yet-to-be-released game has been changed to Pong Toss and the gamemaker is eliminating all references to alcohol.
