See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment...re_Rating_Board

If you don't know the ratings. Usually ratings come with "reasons" (scroll down in the wiki to see a list). If you want to share your "content descriptors" you'll just have to post those.

Next question is "why," is it integral to the plot? Players just like a little gore?


Note that a lot of this will come down to how you describe things as well as exactly what happens. For example Legend of Zelda is rated "E", but Link spends plenty of time going around knifing people left and right(and possibly eating their hearts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) ). If you describe damage purely in terms of "boxes of damage" your game could qualify as "E".

Similarly I seem to recall that you can have kids with a woman in Harvest Moon, but I bet that's rated "E" as well.
