According to this story from xbox.com two Xbox live gamers playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon have hooked up for more than a gaming session and now they have a baby together. An isolated incident, but it makes you wonder about the matchmaking capabilities of GameBoy’s, personal Play Stations and other handheld game/video devices. An untapped market or a case of “if we’re both playing this game 9 hours a day we might as well hook up?”
