| JimmyRay said: What suprises me is that with Microsofts attempted move into the "casual" market they don't seem to be padding their library out much with more causal friendly games. I might be wrong but Sony seem to be padding their casual/childrens game library out with games like ModNation Racers and 3D Dot Game Heroes, adding to more family friendly exclusives like Little Big Planet and the Ratchet and Clank Series. Microsoft seem to keep constantly releasing more mature games and not making themselves an entry point to having a family library.
Edit: Just to add I'm more interested in natal, and will probably buy it because it's cheap, the Move will need loads of add-ons and stuff. PLus I can make Natal games in XNA! |
Game Room is a play into the retro area, and casual. The games are easy to get into, and appeal to older gamers who may not be into the modern games. There is also things like 1 vs 100 going on.
In regards to the Sony stuff, I don't get how one doesn't see Ratchet and Clank as not more for the core gamer. It is a shooter with cool character and witty dialog. Yes, they are mascots, but it is hardly a children's game. It is family safer, but still applying to more mature to.
Microsoft seems to load up on the arcade as the basis for their family friendly stuff.
