Hate singing and yelling and screechy voices? Play Catan

Joystiq writers have been playing a bit of Catan on XBL lately. And what have they discovered? Players stay til the end of games, and there are no obnoxious noises when you play. (Like locust killer).

People will instantly argue that Catan brings a different crowd to Xbox Live and given our experience that is absolutely true. And we love it! Catan, combined with Uno (although there are caveats with Uno), shows that there is a different demographic out there in Xbox Live land. Now does this stop the calls for an adults only section for Xbox Live? Not a chance. It would still be nice to play Halo without the ... let's just call it "noise." All we know is if this Catan community is the same that'll be into Carcassonne, then that's money well spent for a nice couple hours of gaming.

This may convince me to give it a try. What do you guys think.
