M for Mature on a game bears little relevance to the use of the word in other forms of media. I word class something like the news or a documentary as mature TV for example.
Only America uses the M rating anyway doesn't it? Europe has an A for Adult or 18/15 age denomination, which is slightly more relevant as the rating is defining an age limit, not an intelligence limit :)
I hate the idiots that think a game like GTA is more 'Adult' or more sophisticated than say Mario Galaxy because it has an M on the box, generally an M rated game could be as simplistic as any other game, its just the fact the M rated game has blood/violence/swearing etc.
I would agree that games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill are deserving of their ratings, even if you took away the blood and bad language (neither have much of the latter anyway), the scenarios and atmosphere created by those games should only be experienced by a mature person.
