When I got the Playstation One I had moved away from computer games. And then I got the Xbox, and now I have the Wii. I definitely think you're right OldManDeath that the Wii is pushing females into the gaming industry, and we're seeing more family friendly games being created. My two favorite games on the Xbox were Fuzion Frenzy and Shrek Super Party, both of which I always played with friends and family. They were filled with mini games that everyone could quickly catch on to, and the Wii has dozens of those games. I used to play more games as well.

I used to be a hardcore gamer, and have been a gamer ever since the original Pong game. All the while I was a hardcore gamer, I also played casual games. Now, I just have too much going on in my life, especially with my cycling to be a hardcore gamer anymore. I used ti have every console up to the Xbox 360. Now, however, I have no console at all. I do expect to be getting a Wii sometime next year. Currently, the only game I am playing is Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. It is my favorite genre of game, the Hack n' Slash Action RPG game. It is the same genre as the ever popular Diablo and Diable 2. I do occasionally play the web based casual game, and once in a while the breakout game on my Blackberry Pearl phone. I believe that the Nintendo Wii is the catalyst for moving gaming into the female and family market that will help the industry really grow. I agree with this article.
