		According to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the average age of a video gamer is 33 years old, but according to Game Research, a Danish group devoted to studying video games, the average age of a competitive video gamer is younger, about 21 years old.
		The Game Research study found that one-third of competitive gamers defined themselves as "professional gamers," which indicates that there's a rising class of 16-25 year olds who are considering playing video games as a job.
		The X Games comparison is even more accurate when you look at the age of the participants involved; it's dominated by teenagers and gamers in the early 20s.

	Gaming Target - Xbox: Robotech: Battlecry - Review
		The game does an excellent job of making you feel like you’re inside the cartoon — the cel-shaded graphics are extraordinary, if a bit odd in places, since things like terrain aren’t cel-shaded, but buildings, ships and enemies are.
		You’ll encounter two main types of levels in the game — levels where you’re up high, fighting off waves of enemies in fighter mode, and missions on the ground where you defend or assault various objectives in one of the two mech modes.
		The graphics are easily the high point of the game, but the sound’s not too shabby either; complete with well-done music, and most of the voice actors from the show.
