I wonder if your parents' generation considered books like parents today consider videogames and TV? And I wonder how future generations will consider videogames -- will they be classified with books or television? As you might guess from the discussion here, I hope its the former but the ever-present fear is that it will be the latter... or worse.

But of course, I'm 66...a member of a far different generation. So maybe I should say, instead: "Moms used to say that to their kids..."

LGW3 was fascinating from the standpoint of new directions for games. I agree having some grounding in reality is important to creating a strong connection with the player and one thing the conference drove home was all the different forms that connection can take.
