Well, what I was thinking about, thats also normally rated 18, but isn't included in games much, is nudity, or sex.
There are reasons for this, well, think about it. I game with guns and blood and general killing is labeled as "Fun" which I agree. So, including sex, you couldn't participate you could only watch, which is fine! Duke Nukem, is famous for its 18 rating, but my friends, you could walk up to a pole dancer, and put a dollar bill down her panties and she would reveal her breasts!
There are various porn mags dotted around book stores and so forth. This, is great! You go and rent out and 18 film yeah? Well, most of the films will have sexual content in them, but why not games?
I might be because it would just get boring, and the producers can't think of ways to actually include sex into the game.
This is fine, but why can't 18 games, have some porn mags, or you can walk into a cinema and watch a porno or you can pick up prostitutes? GTA3, GTA3 springs to mind doesn't it? "Its rated 18 for a reason" is what SR's banner says, and yes, there is sexual content, but you can't see anything. Are producers scared or something? I think personally, that they are scared, because they don't know how us the buyers, or the media will react.
18's only mean guns, blood, killing, gore and swearing, just basically being a little tyke!
So when your out buying a new 18 game, or you are playing one of you own, just think
"Is it really 18?"
