I think the reason M games seem to appeal to kids more is because of how many of the high budget, great games coming out these days are rated M, not just because its ZOMG VIOLENCE.

Maybe I'm wrong, but none of the people I have ever known get these games simply because they spatter blood and guts around, but because they are fun. If anything thats only ever been a turn-off for most of the gamers I know, though its negligible to them at best.

 

Then how would you explain the wide appeal of Mortal Kombat back in the day that every kid wanted, especially on the SEGA Gen cause it had blood and gore, Street Fighter II at the time appealed to the more mature gamer who wanted a good arcade fighter, while Mortal Kombat had all the kids gathered around the arcade machines.

Maybe because they found it more FUN then Street Fighter?

 

Heh I was one of the few kids that played street fighter, and most of the bragging was about the gore and fatalities not how much fun they had with it, though they may have had more fun ripping peoples heads off though that only confirms that it's appeal was the violence.
