Could people please get off their high horses with saying that "mature" games is really for teens or that they have the maturity level of a teenager. It's only a rating of the content itself and not a measurement of the maturity of an individual. Games with "mature" content/ mature themes are intended for teenagers and adults. 

Most M rated games are quite immature though.

Metroid Prime 2 and Majora's Mask 3D are some of the darkest games I've played and yet they're only rated 12+.

These games are more mature and subtle in their presentation than the majority of the M rated games.

Maturity is subjective and I don't trust your opinion on such a thing.
