Default 80% of US Kids Now Play Games Online

“The percentage of boys and girls who play online games was virtually the same, 77.7% vs. 78.5%, respectively. Boys are much more likely to report they go online to get tips or cheats for their gaming: One-quarter of boys (25.8%) versus only 5.6% of girls.”
I can’t seem to get the PDF of the report to open right, but I do wonder more about what defines an “online game” in this instance. I’m sure some kids maybe play Halo or something (God knows I’ve run into them in matches), but I’d bet most of them are playing online flash games or somesuch.
