Is it? What's hard to deny is that this so called maturity ends at 25.

 

Amen.

I laugh at the games people call "Mature". Are they GILFs? Nah, never mind that joke. Too blue for the room.

I played Animal Crossing, a cartoony game, where I had to pay a mortgage and interact responsibly with my neighbors and community. But they would call that "kiddie".

Nintendogs teaches responsibility and pet care. Brings out the nurturer in people with their videogame dogs. Yet that's a "kiddie" game.

I'm playing different Harvest Moon games where I have to manage a farm and work on making the farm business work while interating with the community and preparing for marriage. Yet that's a "kiddie" game.

But if I'm running around with realistically drawn orcs, elves, marines, secret agents hacking up/blowing up everything in sight, then that's "mature". That's an "adult" game. Only from an adolescent point of view.

Sim City? Now THAT'S a game for adults. How do you deal with crisis and how can you balance a checkbook.

Adult doesn't necessarily equal sex & violence. Nintendo knows exactly what they're doing and who could protest this anyway? It's like the football fans finally getting their girlfriends/wives not to nag them away from the game but join the man right with him and have fun watching.

People should be glad for the Wii just for opening up more of that kind of opportunity.

I'd rather be sitting with my girl at my side as we fight the evil monster together.
