For a few years now the world has been hearing about how utterly absurd Australia's games rating system is. We're the only developed country in the world without an 18 rating for games that is without question; needed, especially more so now than ever before as so many games move closer and closer to realism and include very adult or mature content definitely not suitable for anyone below the age of 14 and in alot of cases not suitable to anyone below 18.
The stupidest thing that has resulted from Michael Atkinsons reign of illogical stupidity is a surprisingly large number of games that are rated 18 in places like America get released here under the MA15 label (unedited) so any teenager essentially can buy these games no questions asked unless they look particularly young and the shop actually cares if they're selling inappropriate content to minors.
So here is just a handful of the many adult games that kids here have been happily enjoying.

Although the aussie version had the most 'extreme' scene edited involving a man taking a drill to the face the game still, like all its predecessors is filled with copious amounts of violence and supernatural horror themes similar to those found in R horror movies.
Explicit violence and gore featuring humanoid zombie characters. Some regularly occuring limb dismemberment and decapitation. Still available on store shelves in Aus next to the highly edited sequel.
Every game in the series features intense violence, most of which is carried out by the player. Their is also a fair amount of partial nudity. God of War 3 in particular features some of the most brutal violence ever seen in a game up to and including a quick time event where the player must slowly tear the head off a very human looking character in full detail, flesh tearing and everything.
Highly realistic intense military violence. Depicts realistic scenes of brutality between enemy soldiers.
One of the goriest games ever made, the story revolves around a ship of people going insane, killing each other and themselves in horrendous fashions (some of which the player sees first hand). The enemies in the game are all mutations of human corpses, some of which look more human than others. The player character can also die in a number of gruesome ways.
