Why can't video games be like any other medium and have both the intellectually stimulating content as well as the mindless shooting zombies games? Look at movies: You have movies that have a message, such as Adaptation or American Beauty, but you also have mindless summer blockbusters, such as Battleship and Transformers. Both kinds of content can coexist with each other. There's no need to say that the video game industry needs to "grow up." There is enough space for the serious, mature games, as well as the "shooting dudes in the face" games. I think some people are looking too much into the video game industry when the film industry has Hollywood's big fat fucking asshole constantly shitting out movies like Grown Ups and Jack and Jill.
