I dont mind if they start making more family orientated games, but i believe that also these games are made to attract harder to reach customers like parents who want to interact with kids who are stuck on Video games all day long. Im pretty sure that Most parents dont want to bond by playing videogames, Maybe a boardgame where you talk and think, or go out together. As it is I hear a lot of wives complaining that their Spouses are playing videogames too much
I believe its hard to make a Video game that is family orientated a success, There were a few, Mario Party could have been one, but also Frat boys could have got together to play that, or a game like Scene It. But nothing feels better than playing those games on a board at a table or on the ground.
Most of the time i believe its just the offshoot, or at least started as that, then when they relized it started bringing families together they started adding that during the commercials and such. Im talking about Boardgames and card games mainly, The Wii is a more family orientated gaming console, And they focused on that cause its a good selling point for hard to reach customers, and that anyone can play it cause its Waving your hands around. Wii Sports was definitely a good family style game. Sorry to say that i would take Cod4, Gow, Halo3, Gta over it anyday
