Even a Mario-dressed firefighter in Mushroompolis would be of very bad taste
at the moment or anytime! Dean, you've just sent a lingering chill in my
spine; there must be thousands of unique, unexploited ideas ripe for a visit
or too to our dear virtual worlds, but this one is way down the depressing
lane. Do players really crave the sight of blood at any price, in order to
classify a game as Mature? I'd say, even shooters as innocent as Perfect
Dark or Red Faction are utterly puerile, as far as I'm concerned. Actually,
you brought a good point by referring indirectly to a topic I've been
discussing a lot with 20-40 year-old gamers lately: the big challenge for
videogames makers now seems to rely in finding ways to keep adults' ludic
interest in bright, smart, positively innovative games instead of in
endlessly gloomy corridors of death. In the long run, those "games" really
drain the essence of life from your soul, leaving you an empty, bitter
husk.Grey and red tones, slimy textures, combined to obnoxious riffle or
screaming sounds are nothing but PC teen nerds' wet dreams.

Try again!
