There is a gamer in all of us, regardless of age. Whether starting on Atari™ or introduced to gaming via a Nintendo Wii™, gaming is a widespread phenomenon with staying power. For some couples or even close friends, a great way to share some extra time together is to throw a gamer party. Ditch the traditional dinner and a movie gig for something worth talking about the next day. Watch out, though. Personal experience has shown that some couples just are not meant to compete against one another. If you think your relationship is up to the challenge, let the gaming begin!
