even kids can pick it up ...That's a positive. I had the opportunity to play on a friend's XBox the other week. Haven't picked up a video game controller in a ---long---- time, and I was totally left in the dust. "It's easy WBill! Just press A-A-B-Up-back-left to fire! And A-B-A-back-left-right to select a different gun! Duuu-uh."

Things have changed since my old Atari 2600. Back in the day, I didn't need to use my Engineering degree to play a ##$%$#%! video game. I hear that the Nintendo Wii is pretty easy to use, though. I might look into it when the kids are old enough.

My son has a wii. I am unimpressed. I tried to steer him towards a PS2. Cheaper and better games for now. The wii is still a year off for games.

The mouse-keyboard combination is the best for shooters. Keyboard hand for movement, mouse hand for shooting.
