Los Angeles - The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the video game industry's voluntary agency that provides game ratings for parents, on Tuesday began offering a new widget that can be placed on websites and social network profiles, or downloaded to a desktop, that will provide easy access to ratings on over 14,000 titles. "Last year, the ratings search feature of our website was incredibly popular, with more than 4 million ratings searches having been conducted," said ESRB president Patricia Vance. "There's clearly a huge appetite among consumers for ratings information, and providing this widget will make it that much easier for them to make informed purchase or rental decisions."
