@achewood Alright, America. I'm playing the underpants and pants game. If just for one more day.

Flipping through a comic book recently I, a full grown adult enjoying children's literature, was nonetheless galled to come across this boastful endorsement contained within a video game advertisement:



The ad included these screen shots from the game:

 


The fact that this "mature" war game features a cousin of Ash Ketchum facing down a tripple-turreted goof tank made me wonder what the makers of Advance Wars consider "maturity" to be. A visit to their website, however, confirms that their game does indeed take a stern, adult look at the grisly realities of war, as reflected in the following screen captures.

Ha ha! See, it's hilarious because Japanese cartoons are all tentacles and Pokemon! Oh man, fresh comedy stylings.

I have heard that the new Advance Wars is a little goofy, but the art style isn't really the culprit. The culprit, instead, is... well, over-fanciful post-apocalyptic stylings, but is there a market for wargames about a super-realistic apocalypse? Besides "not me?"

I saw the screen that started out with "What you say..." and all I could think of was that it had to be a Zero Wing reference.

Dang, I was hoping "Mature" War Games was some kind of combat-oriented sexplay.

Well, I suppose if there were a market for watching bald fallout victims clawing each others eyes out over a can of peaches....

Email spam has ruined me. I see "mature" in any context, and I immediately think it's related to porn involving the...youth-challenged.
