I'm pleased you were interested enough to read this and write your own response. Obviously none of the mums at the event were hardcore gamers - or even mildly interested in spending any of their time gaming! So it's great to have your perspective. Hi Craig.. not at all!

I felt moved to blog a retort. Hope you don't mind me linking here and hope you don't mind my stance! Always good to have the debate I say. http://www.swissss.com/2011/07/gaming-kids-xbox-and-future-gaming-dads.html Events like this actually scare an old fashioned gaming dad like me.

I was at this event too, and last year went to the launch of Kinect in Los Angeles. Right from the start it's obvious that XBox are trying to regain the family games market which has become largely dominated by Nintendo Wii. What I like about Kinect is that it's so active and you have to move to play. Games like these also develop problem solving skills, persistence and strategic thinking, all good qualities at any age.

Also given the cocktail of stuff you clearly do, I'd like to chat over a seedling of an idea for social media that I think could be Laylandii in its growth potential and you may very well be the person to help make this happen KR Jonathan Hi Emma
