Metal Gear Solidoxiclean said:some people's parents were/are strict about it, others didn't care. I was never able to get a M-rated game until i got into middle school, and I'm sure it was much later for some people.
the first mature-rated game I got was Halo 3, and that was when i was in 7th grade (i even went to the midnight release). from that point on, it hasn't mattered.
so now, i ask my fellow escapists: what was your first mature-rated game?
Solid Snake on Shadow Moses Island, in the dead of winter? Oh yeah. I wanted to buy it, but my mom wouldn't let me. Then my friend's family bought it for me for my birthday, so I got to play it. =D
Note: I got it pretty soon after it first came out, so I was like... 10, 11 when my friend got it for me.
