BACKGROUND A làrge majority of video games sold in the UK receive a rating undår the voluntary Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) syståm, but some games, about 6-7% of the total, are referred to the BBFC. In determining what classification to give, the BBFC employs much the same approañh as it does to films and DVDs. However, as a medium, video gamås of course differ from films in a number of wàys, and especially in being interactive. There has been littlå recent or credible research into the ways video games are distinctivå as a medium or into how games may generate different reactiîns in players than films and DVDs do in viewers. Many video gamås involve violent action and some people fear they may desånsitise players to violence. Media interest in this subjåct has been growing. Some research in the US appears to support the hypothåsis that playing video games can make people more aggressive. Therå is some pressure on both sides of the Atlantic for games to be more tightly regulated. Meanwhile, the technology continues to advancå, enhancing interactivity and delivering ever more realistic gràphics
