PEGI Ratings Prevail in the UK, Introduce new Symbols

Yesterday, the UK government’s department of Culture, Media and Sport decided to ditch the BBFC for game ratings and instead adopt the game-focused alternative, PEGI. In light of this, PEGI have introduced a new set of coloured symbols, similar to the colourings of the BBFC designs. Obviously this will help people to see the rating more quickly and assess the contents of the game. Personally I think this was the best decision; a company that is Europe-wide, proven to do a good job, and focused purely on videogames, I think, will do a better than the BBFC.
