For the record, Wes, I read somewhere recently that the average age of gamers these days is 33. I was momentarily surprised, but, then realized it made perfect sense with that generation having been in high school when a lot of the newest concept battle and fighting games really hit the scene.
I still play 'Black' once in a while on my old Ps2 and, from what I've seen advertised and heard of, there are even better games out now, by FAR.
The newest games out that utilize real-world weapons and gear blow me away with their first person perspective and attention to detail with the different weapons.
That level of realism puts those games in the realm of interest for even the biggest, and oldest, kids and has even brought many non-gamers out of the woodwork.
And, don't forget, the military and law enforcement now use virtual game-like simulations for many different training modules.
Ok, back to the knife thread.
