Even before it refined family fun with the Wii, Nintendo was dedicated to creating satisfying multiplayer experiences. Games like "Mario Kart," "Super Smash Bros." and "GoldenEye 007" encouraged everyone to join in, and you missed the real action if you played them alone.

Musical video games are already family-friendly. There's no violence, and their developers have already weeded out most of the sex and drugs in rock 'n roll. And just about anyone can pick up a fake guitar, microphone or a pair or drumsticks and figure out what to do with it.
There’s a scene in “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” that has stuck with me more than any other scene in the new game from Infinity Ward. And it’s not the scene you think it is.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," almost certain to be the year's best-selling video game, has also become its most notorious.

But the mythmakers are already hard at work trying to make Chase Utley into Reggie Jackson now that he’s tied Jackson’s epic 1977 record of five home runs in a single World Series.

Like most drivers, I don't think much about how my car gets me from point A to point B. The idea of fiddling with my Nissan Sentra's engine, brakes or suspension is as appealing as being stuck in traffic. About the only thing I can do to my car is fill it with gas.

Ratchet and Clank, the lombax/robot duo now starring in their ninth video game, may not be as famous as some other lovable mascots, like Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.

“Wait … you’re not going to make me play this game split-screen are you?” my husband groaned. “I hate playing split-screen.”
Like most video gamers, I've wielded enough virtual weapons to equip a small army. We all have favorites, from the classic BFG-9000 in "Doom" to the chainsaw-equipped assault rifle in "Gears of War" to the awesome RYNO ("Rip You a New One") in "Ratchet & Clank."
