I think the main problem is that you are beating people up and attacking them in a school setting. We will see people yelling "Columbine" all over the place.

This doesn't seem all that bad. It sort of serves as a bridge between the total freedom of video games and banning them from certain groups.

Thereby, it manages to protect both children and adults who are gaming fans.

Maybe we will also see the congress doing something to create jobs...if the ESRB has to play all games in their entirety, that is a lot of employees for the ESRB (and perhaps a much higher cost for video games one can imagine).

I think it depends on what you are looking for. Single player RPGs will never allow you the social interaction and role playing capabilities that MMOs offer. They do however, have the ability to engage you in a deep story line that you feel you are a part of. Now if you could permanetly change the world your MMO takes place in...then single player RPGs would have a run for their money.
