Parents and Games

There is something I'd like to share. I recently visited a certain store that sells video game related goods. As I was looking around I over heard something that caught my attention. There is this couple, probably in their mid to late 30s, looking to purchase a game. They asked the sales clerk "there is this game for the playstation call Shadow something......" the clerk responded "Shadow of the Colossus?" "Yes! How much is the game?" the parents asked and proceed to purchase the game. At first I was very happy to see peoply getting this game, but after some thought I realized this transaction is somewhat odd. Judging from their age and their lack of knowledge of games, I believe it is safe to assume the game is a gift for their kid who is very likely to be of a relatively young age. So I thought to myself whether a kid that young will be able to appreciate such a game and why would any parents purchase such a game. Then I remember there is in fact another game that starts with the word "Shadow". My conclusion is that this couple meant to purchase Shadow the Hedgehog for their precious child but instead bought Shadow of the Colossus. So did I tell that couple of the possible mistake they made? Nope. If my guess is indeed correct, then I believe that couple deserves a little punishment. I'm hoping through this incident they will pay more attention to what their child is exposed to and have a better understanding of their kids hobbys and interest. If Shadow of the Colossus is indeed their desired game, they have my respect and I hope the kid will enjoy it as much as I did.
