Are you puzzled as to why visionary director Steven Spielberg recently made the leap from managing motion pictures to creating block-n-ball Wii games?

The why-is-its of a video editor, photographer, designer, convention-runner.
Gwah! I hate these statistics that are completely undefined and based off vauge concepts and definitions.
What they do is count all the people who play peggle and boggle and all those stupid facebook aps as “playing games”.
So *technically* more people have played games if you define it in that way.
Still very interesting to watch video games go from stigmatized to mainstream.
