If I owned a PS2 still, that game would be a much-loved addition to my collection. I agree that it's good for non-gamers, because it's easy to learn and can be fun to play even in short spurts. Good luck with wooing your mom back over to the dark side! All my mom does these days is play WoW. I've been trying to coax her to move on to bigger and better things, but she's really immersed in the game despite its flaws. It's only a matter of time, though, 'cause a lot of her characters are approaching levels where raids become the only viable way to progress. I give her three months max before she starts seeking something else. Katamari’s a good choice. If I owned a PS2 still, that game would be a much-loved addition to my collection.

I also have really fond memories of my brother and I watching my mom play NES. We've kept trying to get her back into gaming even since the 16-bit days (I'm going to bring Katamari when I visit over the holidays, that seems like a good one for non-gamers). She does really enjoy watching us play story-driven games. I think the myth-busting was the best essay on the site (of those I’ve looked at).
