Perhaps they're not used to you playing a game with such a colorful art style? Do you normally play cute or colorful games in their presence? Where I am I bump back and forth between games like Forza and Call of Duty for my X360 and games like A Boy and his Blob on my Wii. When my older brother or our cousins see me playing the X360 online they're quick to praise me for playing what they see and men's games but when I'm playing the Wii they can't fathom what kind of enjoyment I could possibly get out of jumping around with a little boy, directing a white blob. I do explain to them that its not hard to look past the cartoon visuals and enjoy a great product if they keep an open mind, like watching a Disney movie, but eh they just can't see it apparently. 

They frequently joke that it's because I play such babyish games that I won't get a girlfriend, even though I constantly inform them that that is not an area of focus for me. Get's really annoying actually. Strangely enough though, they have absolutely no problem with family oriented games like Wii Sports . My brother's daughter got Wii Party as one of her Christmas presents and the whole family had a blast with it after dinner.


That's an interesting take. The most "cutesy" game I had pre-Christmas 2010 is the Wii and Mario series.

Also, sucks about the "men's game" situation. That itself shows their childish side, and I've seen very bad cases of it in real life. :/
