Take Deus Ex:Invisible War, Fable, Gothic 2 or this game. All of those games dealt with "real" life situations and such. Language, sex, nudity, violence. Now this isn't a cry for a "bad boy" game or something like that. But if we can get R rated movies where are the game equivalents? Even "M" rated games are usually non "Mature"

Am I alone in thinking this? If not I'd love to hear some strike back.
I'm also not too sure why. Maybe the developers in question are aiming for a much more wider market that includes the younger audience as well? Granted, I did play quite a number of games (different genres) with dark themes, atmosphere and such but I'm never a fan of those games. I'd tend to prefer games on a much lighter tone.
