The issue with giving videogames explicit or mature ratings is that it is unfair to try and regulate in such a way that doesn't allow for people to purchase a game at a certain location. At certain stores if a game is rated mature, you must be 17 to buy the game. So some conservatives might argue that this is a triumph over such games as "Grand Theft Auto"or "Hitman", but when a 16 year old goes to a store to try and buy a game they have been waiting a long time to release, only to find that they have to go home without it, it's very unfair.
I think that censorship is an important issue in this country because it often seems like a violation of the first ammendment. Without the freedom to say what you want and express yourself you may feel supressed.
