Few Parents Playing Games With Children

From Gamasutra

A new poll from AOL Games has found that 81 percent of children and 38 percent of adults play video games, with near parity between men and women, and that only half of parents responded that they played games with their children.

The poll, conducted by AOL and The Associated Press, found that "while conventional wisdom holds that adult gamers are predominately male, the poll finds that 45% are actually female."

It also said 43 percent of parents claimed to never play games with their children, and another 30 percent saying that if they did, it was for less than an hour a week.

I must be one of the unusual parents who games with her son...and frequently!
