Note that this sort of thing can't happen in SOE's Free Realms, but don't you wish it could? I've been spending a bit of time with the game since beta, and I have to say that I've fallen for its charms and its casual nature. It's a great way to relax while playing videogames, as opposed to the stress-filled nature of my usual tastes like Left 4 Dead.

While many will squawk at its seemingly random mix of genres, I think SOE knew exactly what they were doing when crafting this little gem. Kids, and even adults around my age, are part of the ADD generation. The fact that Free Realms gives us so many different things to do, means I'll probably spend more time in it than I would have if it was just another combat centric MMOG. If they add a zombie hunting mini-game, I'm sold for life.
