What is PEGI ?

The Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) age rating system was established to help European parents make informed decisions on buying computer games. It was launched in spring 2003 and replaced some national age rating systems with a single system now used throughout most of Europe

ADVISE :

PEGI provides advice regarding the age suitability of a game. However, every child is different. Ultimately parents should decide what their children are capable of viewing or experiencing. Here are a few tips:

1. Always look for the age classification on the package of a game or via the search engine on this website.

2.Try to look for a summary or review of the game content or ideally play the game yourself first.

3.Be aware that online games sometimes enable the download of extra software that can alter the game content and eventually the age classification of the game.

4.Online games are usually played in virtual communities requiring players to interact with unknown fellow players. Tell your children not to give out personal details and report inappropriate behaviour.
