Can mum's really play Xbox 360?

[Wrestlevania]

Over in the latest issue of Primotech, editor Alex Petraglia reports on how his mother faired when putting Peter Moore's infamous "even your mom will be playing games on here" statement (regarding Xbox 360) literally to the test, in a piece called Warrior Woman.

Lots of interesting material in here, with a personal favourite being his mother's experiences when playing her first ever FPS game.

no they can't because otherwise there wouldn't be time left for the children and husband

And cooking. And cleaning. And head. And shopping.

That was very interesting... But where's the Hitman bit?

I meant time left for the children and the husband (the big kid) to play with the console. But yes, those are valid points too.

Chopped I fear.

Absolutely.

Nintendo have been pimping the Wii's "pick up and play with zero intimidation" aspects right from the start. I reckon you won't be able to move for articles along this theme concerning Nintendo's new hardware though.

I'm also anticipating articles concerning Nintendo Wii to appear in all sorts of unusual places too, such as medical periodicals and local* newspapers.

* Can't speak for anyone else, but, my local rag is dumbed down to the point of being offensively simplistic - not to mention utterly banal - at the best of times. About the most technical thing featured on a regular basis is a plot butchery of the latest cinema releases, which in fact manage to give away each film's ending without fail every week.
