Games for Lisa: ilomilo

I've decided, about ten seconds ago, that I am going to start a new recurring post. Games for Lisa is underway. The sole purpose? Get Lisa playing video games. She already plays casual games on her computer. Of course they are just rip offs of board games made interactive, but nonetheless, it's a start. She had a little trouble with Flower, but I think it might just be that it was too new of a concept for her. She, of course, has never used a sixaxis controller or anything like it.

She did really get into Carcassonne for a while. We actually played that game quite a bit. Don't know why we haven't in so long. I'm sure our strategy is going to be off for a while when we finally do. Again, though, it is just a digital version of a board game. Other than the fact that the Xbox Live Arcade version does the scoring for you, I prefer the IRL version.

Anyways, the point is going to be to get Lisa to work her way up to a true gamer, whatever that means. It begins with ilomilo, a game that is coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Hopefully it won't be too much. Hope she likes it. Here's a vid of the game, and their blog.



Great music, no?
