More from BusinessHARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut's attorney general isn't happy that a video game called "Beer Pong" was rated suitable for children as young as 13. Richard Blumenthal wants the Entertainment Software Rating Board to change its methods so games involving alcohol aren't recommended to minors. The game is made by Las Vegas-based JV Games Inc. and designed for Nintendo Co.'s Wii.
