US Supreme Court to decide future of violent games law

gtaiv33

The US Supreme Court is to decide if a law that bans the sale and rental of violent videogames towards minors is against free speech.

Supreme justices in California agreed to a hearing following an appeal from an appeals court that's based in the state.

The law also imposes game labeling requirements from the ESRB.

Quick, do something before Arnie comes screaming through a wall with a shotgun like The Terminator.

Thanks, Reuters.
