At the Midwinter Games/Gaming MIG meeting, I commented about us taking on stance on age-appropriateness when it comes to game content. We have children's, YA, and adult books--we should recognize that there are children's, YA, and adult games. Given your story, Vang, I say that now is the time for ...

I liked the fact that there were so many board games there, and that so many people were playing them.  As for the video game selection, it felt very basic and safe.  Every game that was there should have been there because they promoted social interaction and cooperative play--something that works for ...

You say that Guitar Hero is more straightforward, but that really depends on which Guitar Hero you go for.  Guitar Hero: World Tour and Guitare Hero: Metallica both have full band play just like Rock Band, and all future Guitar Hero games will as well.  In fact, in the upcoming Guitar Hero 5, it has ...
