With the holiday season approaching, and ample variety of games to cater all ages, sizes and colors, and most importantly, a whole bunch of people, be it just friends or relatives or visitors who decry my interest in video games, I'm actually thinking of trying to bring these people "in" this season. Try to open them up to the Video Game side of entertainment.

I have tried in past instances to "ready up" at my kids' birthday parties by introducing games like Feeding Frenzy, or the minigames in Alien Hominid HD. The kids loved it, the adults... kind off.

At other events I've shown games like Zuma, Luxor 2, Lumines, Jewel Quest, etc... Again, kids were all over them, their parents... not so much. They seem to like the ideas behind those games but get easily frustrated once the difficulty ramps up. I've noticed though that the younger the parent the easier it is for them to get excited and interested about games. Kindda hard to appeal to those over 35 it seems.

So this season, as stated previously, I feel temted to try to bridge that generational gap. That of course is easier said that done.

What games would/will qualify to such task? Will kids and their parents feel compelled to play together? Hmmm... I think there's one game that might actually do that. And if it doesn't I'll have to say I'll probably wasted my precious $60 bucks.

What game will I use? Something that it's coming Nov 7th as far as I know. That game is called: Scene it! Yep, that's the one I'll use. Hopefully those "big button" controllers will make people feel less intimidated. (Actually I've heard somewhere there might be an update coming to be able to use those same controllers to play Uno??)

Whichever the case might be, this is an experiment I'm willing to make. Let's see if Mcsft's plans work out well in my favor.
