nytimes.com — Anxious about the mental cost of aging, older people are turning to games that rely on quick thinking to stimulate brain activity. A step slower than in their youth, they are using digital recreations of bowling, tennis and golf.

I think the Wii did help a lot with this new trend. I know at least my dad actually plays video games now because he can actually compete with me in bowling.

Horse s**t. I guess I'm one of the 'few'.I'm 49, and I can kick the ass of many young gamers online. I was never less than 3rd or 4th in my Quake 3 days, and I'm at the top in Half-Life 2 and Splinter Cel. I started very early in computers and work in a field that requires a very sharp eye and nimble thinking. Both the job and the recreation time I have playing games and sports keep me young. So I like computer games as an additional challenge. Bring it on.

I don't have much time for games nowadays so it's certainly part of my retirement plan to catch up on all the ones I'm missing right now. It'll be a nostalgia trip for us. Eee, when games we're 2D, them were't good old days.
