| A person can buy a great video game system. This purchase can be followed up by buying a state-of-the-art television and sound system. Add to that game controllers and other add-ons, and this will be an impressive set-up. But whatever system (or systems) a person may own, without games to play on it, it just won't be worth much. The good news is that there are hundreds and hundreds of video games available (and many thousand more than that, if a person takes into account all the previous gaming consoles). The staggering number of games has lead to an incredible diversity as well. And while the GameCube sets itself apart by offering more kid-friendly fare than the other popular options (PS2 and Xbox), all systems offer a wide range of choices. There are games for kids (Pokémon, Disney's Kingdom Hearts, etc.), sports fans (Madden NFL, NBA Live), action junkies (Halo), fantasy lovers (Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy), movie buffs (Spider-Man 2, Batman Begins), and comic aficionados (The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, X-Men Legends: The Rise of Apocalypse). Video games used to be thought of as merely the province of young boys; now there are more girls than ever playing (with girl-targeted games like We Love Katamari). There is a whole adult video game market as well. There is a generation that grew up on video games, starting with the Atari 2600 in the late '70s. Games like the Grand Theft Auto series and a number of first-person shooter games are aimed at a mature audience. While cheap games may be harder to come by, the game-buying options are completely open for all major gaming consoles. |
