Why do some people think a Teen rated game (or anything that's not 'M') is only suited for kids and teens??? Do you only go see R rated movies because the PG and PG-13 movies are just for kids and teens? That's one of the most inane things I've ever heard. Plenty of older people play and enjoy Mario and Zelda games, and are probably more 'mature' (in the real sense of the word) then people who look down their noses at anything that doesn't have an 'M' rating.

I always take examples of Lord of the Rings on one side, which is PG-13 fantasy, and made for wider audience, and Game of Thrones, also fantasy, which would probably be rated NC-17 if it was theatrical release, on the other. They both have their distinct values and differences, and it would be foolish to call one or the other better, but they do offer completely different tone which simply suites different tastes.
