Thank you for including an article on accessability for color blind players.  While I don't suffer from color blindness, I think it is important for designers to take this into account when choosing what colors to use in a game.

One of the gamers in our group is color blind, so I'm encouraged to see how the industry is taking the issue seriously.

The coop games feature was huge for me.  SInce I end up helping my FIL, having a game where we are working together makes all the difference.  Can't wait to try some of these new titles!

CGI, thank you for covering color blindness in Games. It can be a serious problem. It would be nice if more publishers considered this

Interesting article on color blindness.   My wife is legally blind and has the opposite issue.. without bright colors she can't tell difference in detail.   There are a lot of metrics in making games fully accessible.

I mostly like heavier games, but sometimes a casual game just fits the bill if I'm tired, or just lazy!

I love the co-op rundown. My hubby says I'm too competitive to play against so it's all co-op here!

I had never considered that some games would be difficult for color-blind people.  Ticket to Ride comes to mind.  Great article!
