I just got a New Xbox.

Of course, an Xbox is not an unfamiliar item in my house. I've had borrowed Xboxes, Broken Xboxes, Shared Xboxes, Refurbished Xboxes, and now another. What I'm about to disclose to you is, however, going to be entirely new. My Dad is better than I am at X-Men Legends.

I'd always seen the gaming instinct in my Dad, something my mother has tried desperately to keep hidden for as long as a console has been in the house. But I was always aware of the strange curiosity my Dad had for the latest generation of entertainment. It was only recently, with the Dual Christening of a second hand Xbox and Copy of X-Men Legends II, that I made a large step in capitalizing on my Dads interest. Little did I know that I would soon after be the subject of vast humiliation.

I died as Storm, Cyclops, and Iceman before my Dad fell as Wolverine. He was the final stand against the forces of Apocalypse. But instead of feeling the shame I expected, this new potential elated me. I've always been a firm believer in the idea that Video Games are for everyone and not just socially inept teenage boys.

Imagine a world where Grownups and Children sit on the couch and think to themselves: Ok, it's Family Game Night! Little Billy wants to play an Action Game. Father Tom played his Football game last night, but Mother hasn't chosen in weeks. She wants something with a bit more depth, so she decides to Chose the latest Final Fantasy Chapter.

Although the vision provides an ideal, it also develops a problem. As of now, there are no real multiplayer games with depth that all playable characters can feel. Maybe a game like Resident Evil: Outbreak, without the zombies, would be perfect for the situation.

There is the challenge. Mothers. You all know they're against video games. Yeah, I cans see how my statement might offend, but from my experience, it's true. I have yet to find a game that interests my Mother. In order to interest my mother's demographic, we're gonna have to make some serious romance games. And I'm not talking INdigo Prophecy sub-stories, I'm talking straight up Regency: The Stallion Inside. That stuff deserves a rating of AO.
