Apps & Games content ratings on Softonic
Content ratings help you understand the type of content you might find in an app or game, so you can decide if they are suitable for you and your family.
What do the ratings actually tell me?
Content ratings describe the minimum age we feel the content is suitable for. It does not indicate that the app was specifically designed for that particular age, or if a certain level of skill is required to play the game or use the app.
Where can I find the content ratings?
You will find the content ratings on every app or game page.
Why are some apps or games unrated?
If an app or game does not have a rating, it means that it has not yet been rated, or it’s been rated and we’re working to update the page.
Rating Systems
Softonic uses the rating systems by PEGI and ESRB. The ratings you see may vary by country or region.

One thing I can't help missing from Windows is the amount of decompression tools available.
There are far fewer on Mac, although Pacifist makes up for that as an application that can handle a huge range of compressed packages including .pkg, .dmg, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives. Most importantly, it gives you full control over which files you want to unzip, which is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package. The most common usage of Pacifist is to roll-back unsuccessful or problematic updates, especially to QuickTime.
Simply open the package you're having problems with in Pacifist and click on the Verify button. Pacifist then checks to see whether all files are installed correctly and have the right permissions.
Alternatively, Pacifist could be handy if an installer isn't functioning correctly and you need to extract only those files that are essential. It can even open certain archives via HTTP, which is handy in case you want to download only one file from a large .zip archive without downloading the whole file. As a final bonus, Pacifist can also find which installer installed which programs. This is ideal if you've got a program installed that you have no idea how it got there.
There's very little to criticize in Pacifist. It's a superbly versatile and powerful archive tool that may one day be standard in OS X.
