<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My brother is in his 30s and asked for "Super MonkeyBall" (ESRB Rating E/everyone) for Christmas. Our family was thrilled with this choice, and we all sat down to play it with him after he opened it. I don't think that men would be odd if they played E games like Super MonkeyBall.

The difference is that sometimes those games are less challenging, so they don't appeal to grown men. However, if the games are challenging and well-made, there's no reason they shouldn't appeal to all ages, and I wouldn't look down on men playing E-rated games.

Too many adults seem to think they can only watch television/play games/have hobbies within their recommended age bracket. "Oh, I'm over 17 now. I guess I better only watch R-rated movies and play teen-rated games." [img]tongue.gif[/img]
