Blind Video Games

The title says it all. I recently finished a story about audio games for the blind. The games come in every genre to appease every kind of player. The visually impaired gamer will wear some headphones and sounds will let him know where the enemy is attacking him from, or where the next energy boost is waiting. It's a growing subsection of the gaming industry.


I'd be curious to see a battle between blind and sighted players in an audio game. My guess is the blind gamers, being more comfortable relying on their hearing for information about the world, would whoop on the sighted gamers.
