my sister i know would love these games but she would much rather play doodle jump for an hour than have to bother using her brain.
and having played a few games like enslaved on my brothers ps3 i can now tell you that the challenge of that game is literally non-existent, it is literally just an animated movie that only plays unless you are tapping buttons throughout.
and its one example, but its a sign of where the mainstream game market is going. there is no challenge left, and therefore the is no real feeling of reward left either.

Tell me about it ... I have to persuade my sis to read the texts in Drawn. What's worse, she actually knows and understands what is displayed but simply she doesn't want to
tire her brain with reading while playing a game.
Sure, playing games is meant to be fun and it's understandable that game companies try to get their product to most casual people. But still, where did the thought provoking entertainment go?! I was born in '91. Just the time when internet and video games flourished but I still love reading a good book! I can hardly find that in my generation and it's nonexistent in generations after mine...
