Comments on: Game Idea #12: Family Album http://www.patrickcurry.com/thoughts/game-idea-12-family-album/ A new game idea every week and other ramblings on game design from an upstart game designer.

A lot of them are REALLY GREAT! My favorite so far is "Work of Art", but I'm sure that may change when I go beyond Idea #12. Anyways, Wii's "Photo Channel" feature, which was revealed earlier today, reminds me a WHOLE FREAKING LOT of your Photo Channel idea. It comes complete with Doodling and SLIDE SHOW minigames, for one. I don't know if someone at Nintendo has been reading your blog or not, but obviously this must have been a solid idea. : ] So I just discovered this site today and am now reading through all your ideas.

I can see them fighting over who gets to play it. Sadly, my grandma doesn't know what video games are. But she does LOVE family photos, so this game would definitely be the one shot at making her a gamer. Plus she was just telling me this weekend that she looks for men to date/marry who are good with bridge and crossword puzzles because it wards off Alzheimers. A good puzzle game would seem to do that too. I think my parents (in their mid-50s) and my little sisters (11 and 13 years old) would love this game! I can see them fighting over who gets to play it.
