Los Angeles - The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), an industry-funded group that determines the ratings on video games in the U.S., on Wednesday announced that it will now additionally provide information on exactly what content in games led them to place certain ratings on them.

These new ratings summaries will "explain in objective terms the context and relevant content that factored into a game's ESRB rating assignment," the ESRB said.

"Research shows that the vast majority of parents who purchase games for their kids are aware of and regularly check ESRB ratings, but parents can always use more help when making choices as to which games are right for their children," said ESRB president Patricia Vance.

"With our new rating summaries, which provide exclusive and unprecedented insight into the nature of the content that triggered a given rating assignment, parents will be that much more empowered in making those choices."
