The Future of Gaming

there is nothing to discuss you want childish or family games i want stuff like Gow, its just how it is.

Actually, what I want are games for educated adults -- not games for kids, such as Pokemon, and not games for 18-25 year old males, like God of War. Clearly, the Wii is delivering those possibilities, as adults are buying into the system.

God of War style games have had ten or fifteen years to attract adults to gaming, and have made no significant progress. Fifteen years, and a 15 billion dollar a year industry. Clearly, they aren't cutting it. Please note that I'm not saying that games like God of War shouldn't exist; I just think you should realize that I'm not asking for "kiddy" games. God of War is more mature than Pokemon, for example. I totally agree with that. There was a day when I liked Pokemon style games, and then I got older, and I began to like God of War style games (my personal picks were Goldeneye, Mortal Kombat and Tekken, as those were the games that suited my male, teenage brain). 

Now, I'm getting even older, and I want something more mature than God of War. You know, something where I'm not a super warrior that slices and hacks through hundreds of people and creatures to achieve ultimate victory. 

This needs to be repeated for emphasis: I am not asking for games that are less mature than God of War. I'm asking for games that are more mature, and I believe the Wii is moving us in that direction.
