Washington Post Article on Sex, Games & Conference

The Washington Post has an article up on the mature themes in video games as well as a small piece on the upcoming Sex in Games conference: To Broaden Fan Base, Game Creators Consider New Genres.

Brathwaite isn't breaking ground on romance titles -- but she has put together a first-of-its kind video game summit, which will be held in San Francisco next week.

The subject matter: sex.

It's still a squeamish topic for many, including parents as well as the retailers that strategically stock video games. The problem is that video games are still seen as a pastime for kids, even though the Entertainment Software Association puts the average age of gamers at 33, a number that goes up every year.
