Classification of games

Pegi
The Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) age rating
system was established to help European parents make
informed decisions on buying computer games.
Pegi marking of games is based on what can be
found in them and what the recommended age
of their users is.

Controversy
In 2002 Greece banned computer games. After that

Three years later the European Commission sued the Greek
Government and since then the ban has been suspended.
