This is hilarious, but sad at the same time. I believe Ronald Reagan once said something to the effect that he liked arcade video games because they prepared young boys to become fighter pilots. It's been downhill ever since. Yep, we've come a long way since Pac-Man.
Punditman would like to see a video game in which the object is to create a better future rather than just blow stuff up. Is that too much to ask of these manufacturers? Punditman has always maintained there's brainwashin' in those darn games. A little sarcasm brings the point home:
It's sad, but as a parent, very difficult. I used to be a real purist about having no games in the house. My oldest remembers feeling like an outcast. Nobody wanted to come to play at his house because he didn't have a "system". So I compromised, but I try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to put limits on how much time they spend on it. The real joke is, it's up to the parents to prepare the kids for the future! Apocalypse/video games or not! ;) If we have failed then we should take responsibility for it! Not blame it on games/music/tv/comic books/etc. etc.
