ESRB, auto-rate some video games

The ESRB is going to auto-rate some of the DLC and other games being released soon; this will save a lot of time and money for everyone. Basically, they're going to ask multiple choice questions and determine a rating based on an algorithm.

There are too many games being released these days for them to rate all of them with actual people being there.
