Seniors Console Games

December 18, 2010 11:00 AM

Recommendations of recent console games for a library collection that would appeal to seniors.

I am spending the last of my budget next week and I am looking for recommendations on recent (late 09, and 2010) console games that seniors might enjoy playing. My library is located near a new seniors home and centre that opened up earlier this year, plus we have a lot of seniors living close by and I would like to add some games that would appeal to them.

We have the usual suspects in our collection (Sports Resort, Lego, Boom Blox etc) so I am looking for some not so obvious titles or ones that slipped under the radar.

Monopoly Streets? They would be familiar with the boardgame, and it's easier to play.

Point and click adventures would circumvent any issue with slowing of reflexes. the first Broken Sword in Director's Cut was issued within your timeframe.
