And people say those games are more "mature" and "adult" than Mario and Zelda...

They are. Doesnt mean mature people and adults only play them.

Plot, character development, guns, simulated death are mature themes not suitable to children without parental discretion :).


Wrong. Mature themes and elements can be used superficially and immaturely.

Ripping an enemy's head in Gow Of War for example is a mature element but is used as nothing more than bait for 14 year olds.


What? Isn't Gears of War banned in Germany? Little kids should not be playing that game that is just the issue. Never have I seen a God of War  nor Gears of War commercial baiting children with violence, its usually like a music video of some emotional scene with Marcus. COD commercials I am on the fence about because they could be suggestive getting you to get into the fun. The game is a mature rated game aimed at 17+ aged gamers and kids want what they cant have, which is why they go for the COD's, Gears and God of War titles. The parents give them Mario, they beg for COD.
