They’re not just for kids and people of all ages love to play them. Women are also becoming a bigger part of that population as well.

They are in effect an escape from the real world where one can be who and what they want to be.

Love your articles Burbie.

I totally agree with you about Final Fantasy 7, that game changed everything. It’s amazing to remember a game and it can take you right back to where you were in your life when you where playing it!
