Mature Games for GC?
I thought this story was pretty interesting. Nintendo finally is starting offer mature titles.

Clicking that link didn't work for me: try clicking here instead.
As for the article itself, it's almost 2 months two late, as Resident Evil came out in early May.
I also question the theory that "Mature" titles are really aimed at adults. In reality, many of these "blood and tits" titles are aimed at adolescent males.

Someone's got problems if they have to have blood, gore, tits, etc. in their games to have fun.
I just like games that are fun to play. I don't care if they are realistic, cartoony, violent etc. It's just the gameplay that matters.

"I don't deny that there's a role for violence in games; violence is a form of expression, and expression is what games are all about. What I'm really opposed to is the idea of everyone running towards violence as the only means of expression, to the point where the only way to surprise the user is to escalate the level of violence, and have that be the only element of the game with any appeal. I think that's when violence becomes an issue."
-Shigeru Miyamoto
Maybe they should blood and tits to Mario
In my opinion Eternal Darkness is one of the few truly mature games. A 10 year old just wouldn't enjoy it as much as a 20 year old, because it's not just blood and guts that make it a Mature rated game.

I just read that they are coming out with Dave Mirra XXX that will have cussing, nudity and poop. The women are supposed to have "real" breast physics, everybody cusses like crazy, and they will have levels where you crash into piles of poop. What a weird little world we live in.

I have yet to see any 
games on the market though.
The ESRB website has a pretty cool search function where you can find all sorts of info on the game ratings.

Thrill Kill was awesome...too bad it wasn't ever released b/c I think it would've sold like crazy. I never found a single bug in the beta either.
Don't know why it was rated A though. Yeah, it had violence...but definitely not as much as a GTA3.
