Many of us (myself included) over 40 have never played a video game, so it surprised me to learn that, this year, video games surpassed domestic movie box office revenues for the first time. 

My youthful associate recently turned me on to Sierra Studios' new site for their amazing video game, Homeworld. If you have some free time and want to experience the power of these games, visit the site and download the demoversion. (60 MB, overnight download) Now I understand!
