I am a mom who really loves gaming.
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">I love playing:</span>
Simulation, Horror, FPS (sometimes), MMOs, point & click mysteries, all types of RPGs.
It's about the style, sound design and feel of the game. If a game works well as a slower paced pixel style, then that is what works for that game. It is not about next gen graphics and cutting edge, state of the art video cards.
