The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has expanded the reach of its ratings App to Microsoft Windows Phone 7. This free mobile app, from the organization that assigns age and content ratings for computer and video games, allows easy access to video game ratings and detailed rating summaries.  For parents, it’s as simple as snapping a photo or typing the name of a game to quickly determine if it is right for their family. With the violent video game debate still brewing, this App makes it easy to find out all about any game instantly. Of course, the info is also written right there on the box.

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) applauds the Supreme Court decision to affirm the First Amendment rights of creators, readers and retailers by denying states the ability to create new restrictions on violent content in Brown v. EMA.  In a 7-2 decision, the high court struck down a California law that would have banned the sale and rental of violent video games to minors, and would have made violence a new category of unprotected speech.

Bo Andersen, President & CEO, Entertainment Merchants Association (formerly Video Software Dealers Association), applauds the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that found California’s video game restriction law to be unconstitutional. The EMA took the battle to Arnold Schwarzenegger (Video Software Dealers Association v. Schwarzenegger) when he was in office and aligned with the Entertainment Software Association for the case, which was heard last October as Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association.

Digital Playground’s hottest adult film star, Stoya, has been an Internet sensation. The award-winning porn star most recently was at the AVN award show in Las Vegas in tandem with CES 2011. The 24-year-old porn starlet has set the porn industry on fire with movies like Nurses, Stoya Heat and Deeper 11 — all available on Blu-ray Disc for your PlayStation 3. Stoya took some time to talk exclusively about her love of gadgets, which Digital Playground co-stars are hooked on World of Warcraft, and why a gaming “nerd” is “her kind of guy.” Her movies are available at Digital Playground, and if you’re really obsessed with Stoya’s world, she keeps up on Twitter.

The odds are pretty good that Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunoda wasn’t thinking about Kinect for XXXbox when he designed the controller-free device. But given that gamers now have their hands free, a porn company has come up with a new way to interact with virtual vixens. ThriXXX has been creating PC-based 3D sex games for years, but has added the new functionality of Kinect to the experience through a prototype demo.
