The Future Is Here
March 12, 2009
As we discuss more and more games, I’ve found myself wondering what the future of gaming is. I think we can all agree that macro changes must be made to make gaming more gender inclusive, not only through participation, but also through the games on the market. So here’s a look at where I hope gaming is going…
Rock Band. This game is really awesome for all age groups and genders. I’ve played this with friends in my own age group, as well as kids ranging from 6 years old all the way to 50 years old. I think it’s a great game which incorporates a social element as it is most fun played in a group. I love that you can play this with just about everyone, and the controllers are actually instruments and are much easier to pick up than then classic controller. My main critique is that the game console is very expensive, and in that sense isn’t inclusive. I think Rock Band is a pioneer in non-violent, but fun gaming, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great time.
Is the next big thing already out there? What will follow Rock Band?
