This month, a video game bill aimed at protecting children has been signed into law by New York Governor David Patterson. New York now requires labels for violent content in video games that are already rated as well as parent-controlled lockout features on consoles by 2010. In addition, the law also establishes an advisory council to study the link between violent media and violence in children who are exposed to it.
