1.I loggged on to the free games arcade website to play Ms. Pacman. It was fun. I did not play these games when I was a kid so my skill level is elementary. I think all of these things are played by people with way too much time on their hands.
2. I think the WII with the motion sensor is the best console system for library use. I think the action is the way to go. My experience with console gaming is in purchasing these games for my kids who are now grown. Now they purchase their own console systems. Since I am a pack rat I still have all of these old systems: original Nintendo, Sega Genesis(I don't know which one), Play Station I, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and Sony Play Station. My sons both purchased the X Box and and now X Box 360. What a marketing ploy gaming is! I don't think gaming detracts from learning. It may help improve motor skills and brain function but mostly everyone does it for fun. I think gamers come to the library for the games and depending on the individual gamer they may stay for the books. But there are definitely strictly gamers.
