"Gaming Being More "Cool"?"

I know that over the years, gaming has got more popular. Some of the reasons as to why it has got more liked by gamers is because it has been looked at as “cool” to be playing games. Obviously, boys don’t want to be ridding a pony (Well, the non-perverted ones don’t) through a field gently picking up flowers on the way, but boys want blood, big guns, lovely women and all the rest of it. Girls on the other hand prefer something a little less violent, sometimes, and would much prefer to play something that involves thinking, when boys tried this the brain went into over load mode as soon as they saw the jig saw puzzle.

Also, companies have tried to produce games that are loved my thousands of people, football, wrestling etc.

However, I think that lately there have been a lack of ideas, and I think that the gaming would be so much better if game companies would produce games that are hot on the streets.

I appreciate that this will be a very big challenge has fashions change as much as the UK weather does, so companies have to be careful what games they choose to make.

One thing that companies have decided to do is make Pokemon games which have been very, very popular and I think it was the fastest selling game (?).

So, should companies risk making a game just to please a different audience of gamers, and maybe loosing thousands of ponds, or not?

Have your say.

At some point all of us just like to fill ugly looking beings with lead but we still a lot of the time like to play something like Zelda and CBFD (all the time)!

I think companies should keep at least one of their ponds. It's nice to have some fish to look at during a hard day creating games...

Sorry, couldn't resist it ;-)

Haha! Ponds?! That was meant to say pounds!
