It was announced today that all versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has received an Adults Only rating by the ESRB. As a result, some retailers have pulled copies of the game off the shelves.

The new rating comes as a result of the "Hot Coffee" mod, which opens up a series of mini-games that depict sexually explicit acts. The game modification has been the source of harsh criticism from politicians including Hilary Rodham Clinton, who wishes to tighten up the Electronic Software Rating Board's rating standards.

This decision comes as a blow to Rockstar Games, who has maintained that the code unlocked by the "Hot Coffee" modification was well out of reach of the public's eye and could only be unlocked by unauthorized software which violates the games user license agreement.
