Video game makers will challenge California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in court over a new California law banning the sale of violent video games to children. He signed the bill into law last week but it faces stiff challenges.

The Entertainment Software Association �intends to file a lawsuit to strike this law down and we are confident that we will prevail,� said the association president. Federal courts have ruled against similar legislation in other states.

�The certainly of a constitutional challenge makes this a hollow gesture,� said Jeff Brown, spokesman for giant video game maker Electronic Arts Inc. The law bans the sale and rental to minors of games that show extremely violent or sexual content.
