Gears of War sells 2 million

No.

Agreed, no. Absolutely not. Rare's games are great as they are... anyway, more "mature"? Erm... in which way? M-rated "it's bloody/gross so that makes it really mature, yup!" sense? They've tried that; see Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conker's BFD... in the "sly adult references in a "kid's game"? Rare does that quite well (with great British humor). In the "actually mature" sense? That's not Rare. And besides, that's not what you mean, because that has little to do with rating... and most people don't want that anyway. They just think more violence and swearing makes it mature.

Rare's problem is that they're still working like they are on a Nintendo console. In other words, they need to forget their old audience. There's obviously talent there, but it's just misdirected. I think they need to grow up a bit; I don't want to see the next Halo from them, but a bit more maturity wouldn't hurt (think Jak and Ratchet).

Seriously, this is a terrible, TERRIBLE idea.
