“books”
Crock. Kids like vid games because they are instant gratification entertainment.
When it takes 100 plus hours to finish a modern game and another 2-300 to find all the things to find and see the things to see, I think ‘instant gratification is not exactly the issue.
Games like Skyrim/Elder Scrols, the Fallout series, Far Cry, Deus Ex, Bioshock and others are not casual gaming. They are serious in depth ‘events’ that are not ‘instant’ by any definition. As I said in another post, it ain’t all Angry Birds anymore.
