Grapevine, Texas - GameStop, the nation's largest specialty game retailer, announced on Friday the launch of a "Respect the Ratings" campaign, which includes the addition of in-store signage at its 3,600 locations, and the creation of a website intended to provide parents with a detailed explanation of the industry's ESRB game ratings system.

The company is among the "specialty game retailers" who received a failing grade in a recent report card issued by the National Institute on Media and the Family, based on its sting operations where minors visited retailers to try to purchase M-rated games.
