Personally, the solo game I choose to play is not really related to violence/blood or difficulty. Its more about getting a mature storyline and experience. Mario gameplay is great, but the story is far from being immersive, let alone interesting.

Then you might as well watch more movies, TV shows, or read more books. Okay, the really good ones aren't that common, but you'll get a lot more of those than out of a typical story heavy game. Most game developers are simply not practiced or skilled in storytelling or writing (some exceptions though). Plus those aren't really mature stories for the most part, but that's for another thread.
That's an honest recommendation.

Or,or he can play a game that has a good gameplay AND good story...

LOL, at least one person did understand my point.

There aren't that many. I would put Nippon Ichi's games on about the top teir of video game storytelling, even if they are just well above average with other media. Part of their charm is that they manage to sneak in some deep themes in their lightheartedness, while a lot of "mature" games come across as hamfisted and sloppy when they try to focus on those themes.
