I think the 64 unintentionaly became just for kids. Most if not all the games were kiddy friendly that a mother would be proud to buy.

I tink the new system will get rid of that label however. They'll be still kiddy games, but nintendo with its easy to program for system, and new deals with lots of game developers including the final fantasy people and metal gear solid, will bring in some quality gory games.

Your opinions please?

I didn't expect Bill Murray to understand the time limit in groundhog day, but he came through and surprised me.

The games are aimed at all ages.

They are simply enough for a child to get into, but the challenge offered is quite high in most games.

I couldn't see a young child collecting all 120 stars on Mario 64.

Just because it isn't full of gore, doesn't mean it's aimed soley at children. Anyone that is blinkered enough to believe this is missing out on some great games.

I believe that it was Grix that once (or twice) gave an opinion that games such as Resident Evil are more childish, because of the age group that a gore-fest would appeal to.

Look it up, and read it, it's worth it.

Turok, PD, G-Eye, Conkers... well, soon. Various driving games, esp. the likes of F1WGP..., sports sims, just the flagship titles give everything a bad press.

It is not for kids, t's games are fun and entertaining and that's all. Having fat plumbers, strange looking bright creatures and a talking fox doesn't spoil our fun.
