Answer

If you're talking about rating boards (different from censors, I think), I don't think so. I'm not familiar with the UK ones, but the US videogame rating board is actually a nonprofit organization funded by the videogame industry trade association, so - theoretically - they'd rate videogames more leniently than movies. But, in fact, each medium is rated by its own industry. I think it's more politicians and the news media covering them that have the biases.
