No it's not. It's most of Australia for starters. I live in Sydney - the biggest city - and can't play anything online between 5pm and 11pm because the network just collapses. And I am with the best ISP we have.
I guess if there are cars whizzing past you on both sides and you need to try and run/jump between them that would be pretty damn intense. You could soften it with super cartoony graphics, but still, going to be "Mature" you'd think. You wouldn't want a kid to think, "hey, I can totally dodge these cars on the highway as I have been practicing in Frogger VR"
I cannot talk for other countries, but in Australia, a rating is determined by the impact a piece of media has over a range of categories. The impact of the experience described in this article would be extreme. That would suggest Refused Classification (which is basically banned). It will be interesting to see how these titles fit into the classification in tough countries like Australia and Germany - people could be hard at work right now on games that won't be allowed to be released (legally at least) in many countries.
You're referring to the actual press conferences. Behind closed doors however Sony let no one play with the Wands, but Microsoft did let journos play with Natal
I would've thought the same thing. But then again, here we have gamers shooting for major prize money (some of the events you get more than in real sports) choosing to take them.
i guess it depends on the game.
The amphetamines i can understand a lot more. Focus, and fast, and awake all night.

Sounds like Gears of War 4 is keeping it - source
I had the same feeling to that line. What about Borderlands?

There was a previous blog entry on that topic that explains why it is currently only on iPad.
that would be a matter of perspective wouldn't it? To a disabled person it might feel like a gift

I must admit, that was really funny!

I remember gameplayer doing an article called Is Too Human the X360's Haze? following hands-on preview of the game.
But they changed their view with the review stating that it wasn't as bad as first thought. Still not a stellar score, but not terrible.
