OK - I am a complete and utter gaming novice.

I know nothing about it at all, but for various reasons, would like to know a little more (nieces and nephews I'd like to be able to talk to). Are there any good sites that discuss games and current technology? Good games, bad games, non-killing games? Just general info sites?

Anything to help me reduce my ignorance will be appreciated! Thanks!

edited to add that I've cross-posted this in the Gaming forum.

2. A GREAT non-killing game for PS2...

is I Love Katamari, which involves rolling things into an increasingly larger and larger ball. It starts with pins and paperclips and ends with planets. It's a Japanese game with very cool artwork and a great sense of humor.

Check it out, maybe give it to your nieces and nephews as a gift and ask them to let you play, too!
