List of AO-rated video games
The following is a list of video games that have been given the "Adults Only" (AO) rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), a U.S-based organization which rates the content of video games to determine its appropriateness for specific age groups. Although it is not legally binding under U.S. law, the ESRB rating system is a de facto standard which is self-enforced by the U.S. video game and retail industries. In Canada, ESRB ratings are enforceable by provincial law by film classification boards in some provinces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/mfcb/pdf/game_update.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ofrb.gov.on.ca/english/page15.htm )〕
Games with the AO rating are considered by the board to be unsuitable for those seventeen and younger; AO-rated games can contain higher levels of violent, profane, sexual, or pornographic content than the Mature (M) rating (the next-lowest on the scale) can accommodate. AO is the highest and most restrictive of the ESRB's content ratings, and dramatically impacts the commercial availability of games which carry it; all three major video game console manufacturers (Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony Computer Entertainment) refuse to allow AO-rated games to be published for their platforms, and most retailers refuse to stock AO-rated games. Due to these self-imposed restrictions on the marketing and distribution of games with the rating, the AO rating has been described as a "kiss of death" by critics.〔
Relatively few games carry the AO-rating; the majority of AO-rated games are adult video games which received the rating for containing sexual and/or pornographic content, but the ESRB has also issued the rating for games containing extreme violence.〔 The fighting game ''Thrill Kill'' (1998) was given the AO rating for its violent content, but was left unreleased after its developer, Virgin Interactive, was acquired by Electronic Arts, who objected to the game's sexual overtone and violent content. Rockstar Games' ''Manhunt 2'' (2007) was the second game given an AO rating for extremely violent content, but was re-edited to meet the M rating so it could be released on consoles (an uncut, AO-rated version for Windows was released in 2009). Fellow Rockstar game ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'' (2004) was temporarily re-rated to AO from M in response to the release of a mod known as "Hot Coffee", which restored access to an incomplete, but sexually explicit minigame that had been removed in development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20006844-17.html )〕〔 ''Hatred'' (2015), a game centering on a character indiscriminately murdering everyone he encounters, was the third game to receive the rating solely for violence.
