HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut's attorney general wants a video games rating board to change its methods so games involving alcohol aren't recommended to minors.
Richard Blumenthal says the Entertainment Software Rating Board made a mistake by clearing a game called Beer Pong for minors as young as 13 years old.
The game is made by Las Vegas-based JV Games Inc., and designed for Nintendo Co.'s popular Wii game system. JV Games officials say they're renaming the game Pong Toss and eliminating all references to alcohol.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board's president justified the rating of the original Beer Pong game, saying that alcohol played a minimal role in the game and nobody was shown drinking beer.
