Fifty years ago I'd say yes eighteen year olds would be fairly to somewhat mature. In this day and age eighteen year olds are still very kiddish (heck alot of eighteen year olds are still in highschool).
To be honest, I know gamers in their late twenties and early thirties that are pretty childish as well. Likewise, I know plenty of mature teens in High school.

Though I must say that even though the technology has improved, the maturity hasn't grown as much as it should. Not that we should get all "artsy and pretentious" but its rare for a truly mature game to get recognition in the mainstream while stuff that is labeled "mature" continues to damage gaming's reputation.
