“By utilizing the ESRB ratings as a key sort criteria, the Windows XP Game Advisor can help parents make informed buying decisions — and the wise choices we encourage consumers to make,” said Patricia Vance, president of the ESRB. “We want to make sure that parents, who are often unfamiliar with the wide range of content in games, use the tools that the ESRB provides in bringing home appropriate games for their families.”

The Windows XP Game Advisor can do the following:
* Find a game for anyone based on their age and interests
* Search for specific game titles
* Download game screenshots, footage and free trials
* Check ESRB ratings
* Test system performance
* Print or e-mail a game wish list
* Make it easy to buy with links to a range of online retailers
