Video Game Overkill?

It started years ago with Luigi and Mario, and eventually we were participating in the Olympics, running on a powerpad (now most would reference it to dance dance revolution). There was nothing wrong with the basic video games that we being produced. And even today, they get more complex and enjoyable to play. But what point is too far? Do we really need to play scrabble on the Wii, 360, or Play Station? The boardgames of yesterday are now being produced in the masses to bring in more revenue for the video game industry.

And why can't we simply pull out the box and play with our "real life" friends? Oh, right, because then we won't be able to find the best competition possible. But seriously, is it that difficult to play Monopoly? Why would we need to find more competition online for a game based almost completely on luck...? Because that is what we are told to do....Will future youth be glued to the television screen, or will they learn to have common sense about what type of games are really worth playing on a console?
