Penny Arcade Sums It Up

I thought that last Friday's News update from Penny Arcade's Gabe, where he discusses the joy of playing the new Ratchet and Clank game with his son pretty much summed up the not-too-distant future that both Andrew and I are looking forward to. Before our spawn surpass our L337 nerd dad gaming skills and proceed to mop the virtual floors with us on a regular basis, that is.

It's also really nice to play a game with my son that isn't a "kid's game". I enjoy playing games like Monsters vs. Aliens and Up with him but that's because we're playing them together, not because they are great games. Ratchet and Clank is game that I actually keep playing for hours after he goes to bed. Also when your five year old son tells you that the yellow temporal copy of yourself needs to trigger the switch on the left and then go with the red temporal copy of yourself up the elevator you can not help but think he is the kwisatz haderach.

Note - this is also another reason why I am determined to finally get myself a PS3 before we get too far into 2010, if not sooner. I gots to play me this game!
