Play Station 2

Yesterday, Noah was lent a Play Station 2 for 24 hours. He made me join him playing with it yesterday evening...I am simply hopeless, and the whole miserable time was spent with Noah shouting "Daddy, press the triangle" or "the square", or the circle, or whatever. Even Anna is a better player than I am. Somehow, kids have the ability of picking up a new (and previously unplayed) computer game and playing it without any problem, whilst their old dad can't even make his Lego Star Wars man walk in a straight line. Do any other parents out there suffer from the same problem? Olly
