Default [GI] Kids covet Guitar Hero 5 in US survey
Quote:
In the survey conducted by Weekly Reader Research over 1000 US teens and tweens (defined in the survey as those aged 8 to 13 years old) were asked which games they most wanted this Christmas. The most popular genres proved to be "action" and "music".

The four most keenly desired titles across all ages and genders were Guitar Hero 5 (48 per cent), Wii Sports Resort (44 per cent), New Super Mario Bros Wii (41 per cent) and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (33 per cent).

The survey also suggests that 66 per cent of children plan to ask for a new video game system for Christmas. The number one choice came out as the Nintendo DSi (24 per cent), followed by the PlayStation 3 and Wii (both on 21 per cent).

Are video games really that important in our lives now?

it kind of annoys me that they keep saying per cent. ITS PERCENT, no space. They way they are using it sounds like they are talking about money.

Clothes = boring.

Games have been and always will be on people's wish lists.

Really? When I was a kid I specifically asked to not receive clothes for Christmas.

Toys and games FTW.
