Good idea.
Mature is what the group that is allowed to play these games described as, I think that is a fair description of what mind set you should have while playing these types of games. Sadly, the 'M' on the box doesn't matter. Children, below the age of 12, have got Dead Space or God of War. It is quite pathetic and should not be allowed. A person who is over the age of 17 should be allowed to chose to buy the game if it's what they want. 11 - 16 should need Parental Consent and 10 and younger should not be allowed to get the game at all.
That's how I feel about the 'M' regulation. I hope I'm OT.

You're on topic. In terms of ratings, could a T-rated game be considered mature if it deals with mature themes? Could Uncharted, Metroid, or Infamous be considered mature in any way? Or is it completely and utterly dependant on audience?

Also, I know that there are immature people over the age of seventeen who play M-rated games (certain relatives come to mind). Should they not? Or is maturity so defined by age that it doesn't matter?

There has to be a age limit. Employees can't make you take a survey to see if someone is Mature enough to play a game every time they want an 'M' rated game. That would be ridiculous.

I agree, so it's time to switch directions. Mature content directed at a mature audience counts as a mature game. I won't doubt that. However, as I was just saying there are games like Metroid that aren't M-rated, but are directed at a mature audience (well, that's what Reggie said at E3 2010). What do you make of this? Can a game that isn't M-rated exist solely to appease an older audience? Moreover, does a game have to have M-rated content to appeal solely to an older audience?
