A helping hand

Visit Askaboutgames.com for an introduction to the world of videogames.

Askaboutgames.com is a website provided by the Entertainment & Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) and is a useful starting point for newcomers to the world of videogame  entertainment on PlayStation.

The site is intended to answer any questions parents and players may have about age ratings that apply to computer and videogames, and details some advice on how to play games responsibly, by taking regular breaks.

Every game published in the UK has an age rating clearly displayed on the packaging – to help ensure that the right games are enjoyed by the right players.

The main rating bodies are the Pan-European Games Information (PEGI) system and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) system and you can visit Askaboutgames.com for details on both.

The site also features a useful Glossary, an explanation of the different game genres or types, and a look at some interesting facts and figures.

If you have a question about age ratings or safe playing tips, or want to find out about ways to avoid counterfeit products, then Askaboutgames is there to help. Visit the site now at Askaboutgames.com.
