Games are only for kids, huh? Well, anyone over the age of 30 can argue that one. But what about those over the age of 80? Yep, games truly are for everyone it seems, with the medium seen "as a way for older people to keep mentally active."

That's according to the BBC, which has a lovely story on 85-year-old Hilda Knott. She's been playing video games for some 40 years now, and says that playing games like Grand Theft Auto and Disgaea keeps her mentally engaged.

Check out the video report on the BBC News website, which also has a comment from Blitz Games studios.
