that's another thing that makes me

And that's another thing that makes me feel like gettin' stabby. While some parents have had it out with their kids over their video game habits, more and more these days video games are becoming a great way for kids and their parents to bond.Check out this mom who doesn't play games herself but who was thrilled to help her son become the first person in line to buy “Halo: Reach.” And check out this heart-warming story from a kid about bonding with replica Jaeger LeCoultre Q2623401 WoMen's watch his dad over the game “Portal.” That's right, many of us?parents?can't wait to play games with our kids.Sure not every mom (or not every dad for that matter) is going to want to play “Dead Space 2” with their son or daughter. But why fan the flames of misunderstanding??Is it all just a tongue-in-cheek joke? Are these women?really actors??You know what, it doesn't matter. Ultimately EA seems to want younger players to try to upset their parents with this game.

They are actively trying to make a divide between one generation and another larger?- rather than smaller.Speaking of which, here's another head-scratcher. EA is moms everywhere the fall gals so that they can sell their game to ... who exactly? Rebellious teenagers? Don't make me go all mom on you, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of teenagers replica Jaeger LeCoultre 265.84.30 WoMen's watch aren't old enough to play this M-rated game. You're supposed to be at least 17 years old to buy “Dead Space 2.” EA wouldn't be promoting an?adult-rated game to kids now would they?Meanwhile,?if you're still rebelling against your mom by buying scary games when your 17 or 18, then that's just sort of pathetic. That's right. Ultimately this campaign is insulting not just to moms but to gamers in general. As Ben Kuchera at Ars Technica?

“Are there gamers out there who purchase games based on what their mothers think?... It seems like we're all working to rid ourselves of the sophomoric 'adult in mother's basement' reputation gamers have among some people. Stuff like this doesn't help.”?As a final note, I'm going to echo something one of the moms said in the “Dead Space 2” ad: “Why would they even make something like this?”Why indeed would EA have made this ad? You know why? Because, as Helen Popkin reports, they thought it would be a clever replica Jaeger LeCoultre 264.84.40 WoMen's watch viral marketing tool. And in this way they have succeeded. Here we are, talking about their ad campaign and spreading it like the seasonal flu that it is.
