That said, 18 limit is usually too high for most games. I'd have no problem letting a 13 year old play a game like Modern Warfare. A 9 year old maybe not.

Then you, as the parent, are stil able to purchase a copy of Modern Warefare for your 13-year-old child if you like. I disagree with you that it would be OK for a 13-year-old to play that game, but the point is that it should definitely be up to the parents to choose whether they want their children playing it or not (rather than the government or some other third-party).

Just be thankful you don't live here... In Australia, R18+ games are illegal and you can only legally purchase MA15+ rated games (even if you're a 29-year-old adult).

Technically not true... it's legal to purchase them from overseas and play them (personal use), it's illegal to distribute them. That's if it's Refused Classification (ie, pretty much all the ones you can think of). Those that are Banned are illegal to posses for personal use.
