I have mentioned previously that video games are so popular, that even the visually impaired are aware of them. Blind people can also play computer games known as audio games, as I also mentioned in a previous post. However, there now appears to be actual mainstream video games that blind and visually impaired people can play.
A list of mainstream accessible video games has been created, and contains games from a variety of systems. Each of these games has been personally reviewed by the creater and maintainer of the list, and each game comes with a description of its accessibility. A lot of the games for the different systems are the same, but there is enough variety for a unique experience to be had on the different platforms. I will keep you posted as to updates to the list.

I hope this will only work to bring blind and sighted gamers together. The increased accessibility of games for the visually impaired will only serve to spark creativity in computer games.
