Games! Games! Games!

Good description of game play evolution.

fully half of the book is an apologetic for video games. i must admit i checked out of the video game world just as it got good, according to him. i really dug the linear-ness of super mario and super ultra mario or whatever came next. although i was the reigning queen of mario-cart in my day (more 3D than the others), my expertise (and interest) stopped when you had to start wandering around in a 360 world with no clear-cut goal, relying on trial and error and the benevolence of strangers to give you tips. it’s now those incredibly complicated, simulated worlds that challenge greater realms of problem solving and cognitive abilities. i certainly believe it. it won’t make me go out and buy a sony playstation (old-dog syndrome), but i’ll concede that the overall effect is a net positive.
