Let me explain something about the E rating to those of you out there who are obviously confused. When it says E 10+, its stating that the game is suitable for ten year olds, right?
Q: What's the speed of any given naval convoy? A: The top speed of the slowest ship.
This means that while playing Zelda you are doing things that any average ten year old could do. What feeling of accomplishment could one possibly gain from that?
Now look at Dark Souls, a game that makes adults cry out in frustration and pump their fists in elation after completing a particularly difficult part of the game. See the difference?
Ten year olds shouldn't go anywhere near Dark Souls. The oppressive atmospheres, the seriously creepy monsters, the difficulty... kids and simpletons simply cannot hang. The only way Zelda SS wins GotY over Dark Souls is if gamespot replaces their reviewers with a team of 6th grade girls...

How hilariously incorrect. That's factually false as evidenced by the definition of ESRB's regulations. It's a way to discern that a game is good for anyone above a certain age. So a game that is E +10 is suitable for everyone ABOVE the age of 10. To put this in perspective, GoW is an M game, but is one of the most juvenile games I've played. To judge a game based on its ESRB is foolish to put it lightly.
