    Hi all we are new to romulation and are trying to download games for a 5 and 7 year old so need to know the age rating for each game before we download, it is probably very obvious in the details with each game but can any one help and tell us does U mean for anyone and J for under 12?
    Thanks Nx

    U-J

    Those are region titles-J for japan-U for america-E for euro (for australia and euro related countries-even englad is included).

    personally while I done it, games at those ages might not be the best option-when they are 10 it's a safe age for gaming.

    Plus they'll have more reading ability-which makes games easier to play.

    Just saying from experience.

    A good site for you will be http://www.gamefaqs.com/

    Just search for the game title, then under the "Data" tab there will be the ESRB rating of the game.

    Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/data/950922.html
    ESRB Rating:M

    Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/data/938420.html
    ESRB Rating:E10+

    And of course, you may want to freshen up on the ESRB rating meanings.

    if you going to look at the rating have a look at multiple site like IGN and gamespot. some times they might get it wrong. its rare but just in case
