Well it wasn't so much a mature thing as it was a case of had I heard it or seen it. The amount of violence in a Resident Evil game could probably be found in a 12 movie if you looked hard enough, and by that age I'd probably heard worse words in school than they use on GTA, and the same applies with films as well. I think it just got to the point where they thought there was no point in stopping me playing this type of game because chances were that if they did, one of my friends was bound to have said game aand I could play it at their house. Bare in mind as well that this was all around the time GTA3 was coming out and they never stopped me playing that with a few mates, but I never actually wanted it so I don't know what their response would have been if I asked for it. The only game I can remember them asking about, when I wanted to lend it from my uncle, was Devil May Cry when I was about 13. They let me play it no hassle once they'd talked to him about it
