But video games? Clearly carney they're for adolescents, aren't they, with many of them being too nasty to discuss at the AARP gathering. And console games! My goodness, they involve fighting, shooting, racing—all stuff we're much too old carney and sophisticated carney for. Don't they? Well—yes, no and maybe. Much like books in a library, you can often find what you wish to find. For every Postal 2 there is a game like The Longest Journey, and for every Soul Caliber fighting game, there is a console experience like Zelda: The Wind Waker. I must share a caveat regarding this review. Wind Waker is not only my first Zelda experience, but also my first GameCube title, and even my very first console game! With over 300 games in my PC library, and having played most of them (a lot or a little) the last seven years, I've just never ventured into the world of the gamepad. So please be patient when I reflect naivete regarding consoling in general, the gamepad in particular, and Zelda as a revered franchise—a franchise with which, to my regret, I had not been acquainted.
