Take-Two today reminds parents, grandparents or anyone planning to give video or computer games this holiday season to utilize the ESRB rating system

"The holidays are a reminder for all of us to be aware of the ESRB rating when purchasing video games as gifts," said Paul Eibeler, Take-Two President and Chief Executive Officer. "Just as some movies are rated R, some games are rated M because they are intended for ages 17 and older - gift givers need to keep this in mind."

Mr. Eibeler concluded, "At Take-Two, we strongly support efforts to keep games intended for an adult audience away from children and encourage anyone concerned about game content to support the awareness and enforcement of the rating system. I am encouraged by the efforts of the industry, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and our retail partners who are undertaking efforts to raise awareness about the changes in the video game industry and to promote a broader understanding of the ESRB rating system."

Take-Two's holiday lineup includes: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories for the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system (rated M); Bully for PlayStation2 computer entertainment system (rated T); Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for PlayStation 2 (rated M); NBA 2K7 for the Xbox 360 and Xbox video game and entertainment systems from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems (rated E); NHL 2K7 for the Xbox 360, Xbox, PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2 (rated E10+); College Hoops 2K7 for the Xbox 360, Xbox and PlayStation 2 (rated E); Family Guy for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PSP (rated M); Sid Meier's Railroads! for PC (rated E); Civilization Chronicles for PC (rated E-E10+); Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony for PSP (rated T); Stronghold Legends for PC (rated T); Deal or No Deal for PC (rated E); Family Feud for PlayStation 2, PC and Game Boy Advance (rated E); and Dora the Explorer: Dora's World Adventure! for Game Boy Advance (rated E).
