video game console, multiplayer games It is Christmas Eve, and ooo is it exciting. My younger brother is on his way home after hoping on a plane to get down here. He had to stay a little longer then expected after landing a new job. We all understand. With me, when I drove home for the holidays was the Xbox 360 video game console. The past couple nights, I have been using it to listen to music and watch holiday movies with the family. All of the multiplayer games I brought in a backpack are patiently waiting for my brother to get in.

Playing them with my parents just isn’t something I want to sit through. Trying to teach a video game console novice how to play a shooter or control a fast moving digital race car is not to easy. Explaining what each of the controller buttons does is easy but getting them to a competitive level is near impossible. That is why Nintendo consoles are so great for family situations like this week. All I have here though is an Xbox 360 so the multiplayer games are all on hold until my little brother walks through the front door. Happy Holidays.
