Arghhh! Just tried Puzzle Pirates game. Do games have a place in libraries? My opinion is no, not really. Patrons can, (and will),play games on the internet but I don't think the library needs to promote it. In my experience kids that come to the library to play on the computer are so focused on their turn at the computer that they do not spend time exploring the other wonders the library has to offer. Seems a bit too much like the nifty toy in the cereal box to me...it is a library not a happy meal.As far as interaction with other characters on the ship goes...distracting. I imagine once you have found your sea legs in the game that would be a big component of the enjoyment.
