Game On Grandma, Help Your Emotional Well-Being, and Be Smart With Bioshock Infinite!

Today my dear mother turned 65. She also handed me an article from AARP that mentions some new study results. As it turns out 17% of seniors over the age of 63 play video games daily and a third of them play at least once a week.

In addition to this all gamers are found to have higher levels of emotional well-being than non-gamers. You can catch my article here: http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/13274.html

Speaking of family, I'm trying to coax my brother into getting Bioshock Infinite. He is only recently becoming aware that gaming narratives and experiences have risen far above where they once were. Until now he has been playing Call of Duty and we all know that is more of a guilty pleasure than high art.

I aim to see World War Z tomorrow and I wonder just how long zombies can keep up their popularity. Aside from The Walking Dead and the numerous zombie movies there are tons of zombie-oriented games and even games with no relation to zombies are being invaded by the suckers. I enjoy them, but maybe we can give another supernatural force a try for once.
