Games that try too hard to be mature.

GTA4 in terms of gameplay and narrative

Gears of War does at times try too hard to be "hardcore". I'm surprised no one on the first page mentioned House of the Dead: Overkill; the profanity in that game was absolutely senseless. Seeing as to how it was only 2 hours and they fit all the cursing in there was ridiculous.

God of War is warranted I think; it captures that mythological Greek brutality, but some parts are a bit much (slamming the guy's head into a book/slamming it with a door repeatedly).

Dead to Rights 2 was one of those overachievers.....there was one standout game but I forget what it was. Maybe X-Men Origins Wolverine, or Wanted: Weapons of Fate, I don't remember....
