Games have come a long way, but its all back to where we started

I often find it funny people's attitude to games and consoles. The recent batch of social and "casual" games has helped widen the benefit and appeal. Just take this typical family gathering.
Years ago people would have gathered around the piano for a sing song. Now... well after years of 1st person shooters, fighting and driving the PS3 has this Singstar.
People often worry about whether they can sing, but it just does not matter if its fun.
Not all games are the same, not all games are violent, though singing final countdown can do some damage on this :-)

  1. A lovely family video :) Though you might want to change that last "no family members were harmed in the making of this video" caption and add an additional "yet" for when they find out you've posted it on T'Internet

    Mmmm, I think they were all broken long before SingStar :-)
