Find reviews of video games, movies, books, apps, TV shows, websites, and music. Common Sense Media has a 'library' of more than 20,000 reviews by age, entertainment type, learning rating, genre, and more using the filters. 'Grand Theft Auto' is NOT "just a driving game" and has a PEGI rating of 18 for a reason.
