Dinosaurs Like Online Games?

Hey, we may have built this city on Rock N’ Roll, but I’ll bet some Rock also fueled game development efforts. I do not know why it so shocking when Yahoo came out with a report that men and women over 40 play video games. They seemed even more suprised to find that women over 40 play online games, then they were to find that “mature” (LOL) men did.

Their top baby boomer game hits do tend to be a bit different then Grand Theft Auto or World of Warcraft. I’m sure that boomers do play those games, but they do tend to be very time intensive and violent. I think that most of us can picture ourselves getting involved in the longer and more intense games when we were younger, but now we just can’t spare the times and our tastes have changed a bit.

Nowadays, games can mean PC games, or game systems, or even your cell phone! Of course, many manufacturers try to produce popular games for different platforms, so you should be able to find a version of your favorite game that runs on whatever machine you own.

Here are some of my suggestions for baby boomer gaming:

• Guitar Hero - After all, you still love Rock N’ Roll, Don’t You?
• Bejeweled and Tetris - These are arcade style games that you can play within a couple of minutes. Careful, they get addictive, and those short games can start eating up hours
• Online Scrabble - You can play against the computer, and choose different levels so you have a chance to win. You can also set it up to play against another human.
