Games and Gaming #38: Console Gaming

1) I only played PacMan during college and I enjoyed it then. The only advantage I have over someone who never played was that I knew how the game worked.

2) I do not know which of the 3 gaming systems listed would be the best for the library. I would have to research it more.

I think these games can be a boost to learning, but they can also be a detriment to learning if they are used in excess.

I think most of our young people (and many of our adults!) are here for the computers, both for gaming and for social websites like MySpace. When the Internet goes down, the library becomes fairly empty.
