Nah but I kind of wish it did.

I showed my parents Uncharted 2 (on top of the hotel and the pool area) and Just Cause 2 (just going around the island). they thought it looked amazing!

i was playing the newest nba game over a friends house, and his dad walks by and asks who's playing not realizing it was the game. Although he was pretty far away so i can see how he thought it was an actual game.

I remember when i was doing that part, my sister came into the room and she saw Kratos rip Helios head off.  She didn't know what was going on at first because she is 5 years old, but once she saw Kratos rip his head off, she went to my stepmom crying.  She said i showed her something scary.  Now every time i start playing Gow3 she runs away saying "no no no no no no no".  Sometimes i do it on purpose because i think it's funny.  She tells me the only games she like are Drake(thats what she calls Uncharted 2) and Heavy Rain.

Uhh.. even now I think that scene is disgustingly brutal (and I'm a fan of the Saw movies), I can't imagine what kind shock it can be to a 5 years old. I only know, that I watched some scenes of Stephen King's Pet Sematary at the age of 6 and it haunted me for years.

I think she got over it though.  But she still runs away screaming every time she sees Kratos.  I...can't....hold...on...the urge to......*Goes play GoW3 with sister in the room.*

My dad thought COD4 looked amazing in SD. After he played MW2 in HD for a few months he tried it in SD and was shocked at the difference.

My dad does better, he is impressed by my Wii games! XD
He never played a videogame in his life so it's understandable...maybe Wii will change that and he'll try Wii Sports!


You will never beat my mom in wii bowling!! NEVAAA

Come talk to me when your mom gets 10 STRAIGHT strikes!  Both my dad and my brother have done this.  Only amazing thing i have done in Wii Sports in score 30 runs in 1 inning in baseball.  I won that game 40-0.  EPIC RAPE!!

Yeah my parents were amazed by Uncharted 2's graphics as well. It was the Tibet area, though.

If I'm playing a violent game and they swing by, though, then they say the same thing over and over again: "All this killing and blood! How will you benefit from all this?! Play something else!" (of course, it's just a rant, they've no say on what I play).

haha my mom does the exact same thing. She always nags me when I play and asks me what the point of playing videogames is so at this point I just make up stuff. I'm like mom didn't you hear about that study that shows that people that play videogames are 10 times more likely to become doctors

OT: No one has ever mistaken me playing a videogame for a movie but when my relatives came over they were amazed by how good Forza 3 looked. My dad actually started to get motion sickness cause I was driving so fast in cockpit view.

When I started playing Halo 2 on xbl it was pretty amazing for my parents and especially my grandmother too. The concept of playing with millions of other people on your tv was completely foreign to them. My grandmother was so confused as to why I was yelling at and talking to the tv.

Lmao!  There was one time when my brother was talking to his friends in Mw2, and my little sister called him crazy because she thought he was talking to the TV.

LOL, I just end up saying it influences my studies in college for graphic design, which is true. For example, for my 2nd last design project I drew a PMC soldier from MGS4 and for my final project I drew 2 elites from Halo, one holding a Covenant Carbine and the other an energy sword (of course, there's more to the projects than that, but you know what I mean).



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
