Gaming for The Masses - a list by jcaballer

About this list:

According to the experts the average gamer is a 33 year old male. I am 33 and I consider myself an average video gamer. But the one thing that the industry is trying to crack is getting women and older folk to play. I recently witnessed the signs of the second coming of gaming. A 35 year old female playing a PSP game and having a blast. What game was it? You might ask. Well read the list.

Qualifications:

Um. I am a 33 and play video games more than I watch TV

Once you pick up this game, you won't be able to put it down.
One of the best, most original games for the oftenly underrated PSP. (via shazam)

My dad used to lock our Coleco in his office. To control how much we played.
needless to say we (my brothers and friends) became master locksmiths.

We would spend afternoons afterschool huddled in a smalle 8x5 office playing Zaxxon and Donkey Kong.
We made my little brother stand watch.
I am happy to say that the life of crime did not continue.

Description

To use a cliche, small things come in good packages. Or something like that.

Having 700+ titles in your pocket and still being able to fit a snickers bar, your keys and a pack of gum is no small feat.

Being able to stick to the classics like super mario bros brings back some great memories.

Again, if you are stuck at the DMV, Church, Doctors office, um traffic.. in your carpool, what better way to say, "Hey I am old, still a geek and proud!"

Nintendo Wii

Description

I played a bunch of demo games Nintendo had setup at a local mall, and they rocked. Its such an active experience (compared to sitting around with my mouth open whenever I play some crazy first person shooter). My roomies and I are planning to get one once they're in stock again, and there's some video coming soon from our shopping mall demo.
