Diary of an aging gamer

If you're over the age of 30, chances are that any offspring you have will look on in bewilderment

when you recap your early gaming days. About playing Pong on a black and white TV. Playing Space Invaders on the Atari 2600. Donkey Kong. Dig Dug. The classics.

The writer makes a very fair comment on kids games these days being extremely poor. Can anyone remember the last time they saw a game, for kids, that wasn't an entry in an established franchise?

Of course, my three year old is more than happy playing Burnout, so it's not all doom and gloom. I'm quite certain his newborn brother will be the same when he's a bit older as well.
