Just one problem: most of these games are not in fact mature: they present their content in the least mature possible light. They do this because craving this content for its own sake is not a mature response to it: the only real market for these games can't actually handle the content, because mature people find it repulsive. The M rating has become nothing more than a marketing term, and needs to be changed to a word with more negative connotations.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
