what they do for example in IMDB is being clear about what the game
has, not judging, like:
- - player uses a gun
- - when shoooting, blood comes out of the corpses

etc

That's part of the equation that might be added later, but if the kid is not capable of using the program because in their developmental stage they lack the needed cognitive sensomotor and psychosocial skills to use it, that information is not enough. For example, hex-a-hop is a really cute game, esthetically valid for every kid,no matter the age. But a 6 yo, and quite likely a 9 yo either, won't be able to play it. That is the first step I would like to cover.
