The major difference is that tobacco and alcohol are physically and objectively harmful; in this case, the government is determining what content should or should not be legally available to kids, which is not something the government should be doing.

Kids will still get the games, anyway. This is just another massive waste of resources to make it look like the government is doing something, because "it's for the children!" wins votes.
