According to this, the BBFC will now rate all games in the UK meant for gamers over the age of 12.

From the piece:

Under [Byron’s] proposals, backed unanimously by DCMS Minister Andy Burnham and DCSF Minister Ed Balls, the UK film censor’s well-known symbols will be on the front of all game boxes for games rated ‘12′, ‘15′ and ‘18′.

At the same time PEGI will continue to rate all other games for children – ‘3+’ and ‘7+’ – with its symbols on the back of boxes.

The news comes following the release this morning of Tanya Byron’s report on games and internet use regulation in the UK. More through the link.
