With game prices up around $60, I've taken to using review scores (and preferred genres) as indicators of the next game I might purchase. Who wants to shell out that much for a 2.9 crapfest? But I spent a little time with some nephews tonight, and none of that mattered. They talked about which one of them was responsible for getting past the 'hard' level in a particular Spongebob Squarepants game on the Xbox. These kids have purchasing power through their parents, and they like...the Inflatable Pants race. They're also fond of Battlefront, and not permitted to own Halo, but for me it just reinforced how wide the spectrum really is, and that no adult should expect to like a game that may enthrall a 6 year-old or expect a publisher to build in depth for a kids game.
