I guess in the wake of the tragedy on Sept 11th, the games industry is battening down the hatches. Bungie are reporting that Halo's ESRB rating has changed from Teen to Mature. This means that purchasers must be 17 years or older to grab a copy. This must come as a bitter blow to Bungie and Microsoft - as Matt over at Bungie explains..."This affects us significantly: M-rated games are not sold in certain national stores, not advertised in certain markets, and are often off-limits to young people. If any of these factors prevent you from getting your hands on Halo, we're sorry - we did what we felt we had to do"
