The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) announced today that in addition to their standard ratings for video games, they'll begin including summaries of the games, highlighting the parts which earned the rating. As Giant Bomb points out, some are quite entertaining to read. The new policy drew praise from Senators Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT), both of whom have spoken out against "inappropriate" game content in the past. The summaries are viewable at the ESRB's website; thus far, they've only done them for games rated since July 1st.pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/13/012221amp;from =rss"img src="http://games.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp; style=h0amp;sid=08/11/13/012221"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/13/012221amp;from =rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p
