[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women hate video games because men love them.[/quote]

Actually I love games, but I'm picky about what I play.  Things like SIMs are very infrequent, as there isn't enough to the game to make me think.  I don't play anything that is simply creating matches (jewel pop and similar), nor do i play anything that is first person shooter (halo and the like).  I love tycoon games like simcity and I play with kids occasionally, as it teaches the kids to think about their microcosm in relation to the rest of the world, and the moment versus long-term.  Games like zoo tycoon have ecology and biology tied in, rollercoaster tycoon has physics done in a way that kids love.  I like using the old ages of empires games to get kids to see that one choice can change the process of a battle, a battle can change a war, and a war can change everything.  Video games don't have to be about mindless entertainment, not if the person playing them is willing to use their brain.[/quote]
