We bought the "Simpsons Road Rage" game a few months ago, mainly for the kids.
If they've been playing before they went to bed then me and Angharad have had a few gos in the evening and have been competing for the high score. Over the last few week, we've traded it and nudged it up until Angharad reached an unattainable 9,100 points.
Eventually, after hours of dedicated thumb twiddling I managed to beat it with 9,300 and then push it out of rech with 11,300. I was the champion. I reigned supreme in my domain.
Well, Liam has just been on and got 12,500 !
It's amazing watching him because he doesn't seem to do much but always manages to jink round the traffic and always knows the shortest route to each goal ... using any and every short-cut. He doesn't even pay it his absolute attention ... we have to concentrate on the screen for all we're worth.
He's always been good at directions and can tell us which way to go even after we'd only been somewhere once, sometimes months earlier.
Damn, kids and their quick reactions ... they make me feel old - but proud
