| jarold said: Seems like there's been a raft of 18+/18/16+ rated games in the last 6 to 9 months and they all seem to be the big titles. Where previously publishers & developers seemed to want to maximise their potential sales by making the games available to as wide an audience as possible they now seem willing to restrict that audience to (in theory!) adults. Resistance 2, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Bioshock, Haze, Mirrors Edge, Motorstorm 2, Too Human, The Orange Box, Assassins Creed, Manhunt 2, Condemned 2, Is this a sign of the industry growing up and recognising that gaming is not just for kids and there are older/mature gamers out there, or is it courting controversy to try to maximise sales, or probably something else I haven't even thought of yet? And do the games themselves always deserve the certificates they're given? |
It's really rated for adults only?? woah didn't know that...
