Endless Ocean is a fascinating experiment from Nintendo. Essentially a budget priced, sandbox "scuba diving" game, you wander around the ocean studying the animals found within.

Some have promoted it as a relaxing and original experience. Others have said it was boring.

What is interesting is the reaction of the kid and his mom while playing the game. No, they aren't yelling "HEADSHOT!" at the top of their lungs, but they are clearly transfixed by what is going on in the game.
