It's probably too much for me. Multitasking is a skill for the young

I DL'ed the demo to World in Conflict and played about 20 minutes. Got
aggravated with having to digest too much info at once and went to quit. My
kid was looking over my shoulder (unbeknownst to me) and said "Can I try?"
The little jerk excelled at the damn game. He played about three days and
started owning the demo servers. I had to tell a couple of people over the
in-game voice comm that he really was a kid and no, he isn't cheating. Black
and White 2 was too much for me (even with a trainer) but he played it out.
Must get that from his Mom? Maybe it's the mailman...

I think that's why assault is so much fun. It's a prescribed set of
obstacles. Fairly simple. ONS is fun but for me I'm not a big asset. Just
too much happening to enjoy myself.

Meh. I figure I'm older than you, and if I can do it...

ONS is pretty straightforward at it's essence. Connect the dots and
blast the enemy core. As with any other game though there are
strategies that come into play.

But you're certainly right... the younger folks are better wired to
do multitasking. I've no doubt that I was a better player in UT99
than I am now, and it's completely attributable to how much my
reflexes and quick thinking have diminished in the last 10 years. Us
"chronologically challenged" gamers just need to be a bit more devious
then our younger counterparts to keep up.
