My parents certainly never played regularly, although my dad did play a game with me now and then. My wife is not a gamer either.<BR/>However, the Nintendo Wii has sparked a change in what exactly we can consider 'gamer' to mean. Having played Wii at my house, my parents are eager to buy their own and spend hours bowling. Likewise, my wife has taken an interest in it to the point that recently she bought a game for herself! It's a simple cooking game, but still, it's a step.<BR/>While neither of these circumstances are what one might consider a 'core' gamer, I think that the Wii is definitely showing the world that there is something to be said for this experience. I think it's fitting that the original name of the Wii was 'Revolution'. It seems to me that a revolution is precisely what Nintendo has brought upon us. I've been gaming for a quarter of a century and have seen so much change. I can't even begin to fathom what the next 25 years will bring, but I know I'm excited about it.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393346323347948176noreply@blogger.com
