Clark doesn’t play video games. But there are games coming into the market that could change his mind. Right now, all the video game gurus are getting together at the “E3” convention, where manufacturers unmask their goods.

It will have music, movies and video games all rolled into one. Nintendo has two new screens on its newest gaming device. All of these elements are designed to deal with the boredom factor. Teens get bored with certain games, so the video game manufacturers are creating gadgets geared toward adults. Women in their ‘20s and ‘30s have actually become huge video game fans.
