Unless of course one has played that game and know that say it has terrible controls that can even frustrate even the most patient adult lol.<br /><br />Good to know that another mom is educated on the ESRB rating. The more they know, the more they stop criticizing mature content in games because it's something that can easily be controlled by them.Loner Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249291279596903879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353108502130670225.post-42321039935807292602009-08-06T07:42:46.670-07:002009-08-06T07:42:46.670-07:00Yeah, I don't agree with letting the kids cho...Yeah, I don't agree with letting the kids choose and finding out for themselves if its a bad game.I rather help them make better choices by talking it through with them. To help them think more about the purchase and not just the impulse.<br /><br />This only works for kids of a certain age though. Older kids I agree, let them make some choices and see what happens. While the younger kids like everything.<br /><br />That's why "we" has parents have to help them to a certain point. What I do is actually talk with him about why some games are better than others and to make his own list of what he would like to have. Then go over that list with him.<br /><br />Parents should be involved to the point that lets the kid make a genuine intelligent decision. <br /><br />Although this has nothing to do with games made for kids, but more of kids wanting what they want.A horrible example I saw at the local game store where this 12 year old was begging his mom to buy Scar Face for him. <br />And this is the type of parent I am talking about. She had no clue about the game, she was asking her son, "you sure this is a good game for you?"<br /><br />Which his response was,"YES MOM!! EVERYONE'S GETTING IT". I could tell she didn't know anything about this. I guess she didn't even hear of the movie, but that's a different story.<br /><br />So I walked over and said,"Excuse me, but that game has a rating of M, see the big M on the game. That means its made for mature audience 17 and older. It has violence and sex in it"<br /><br />She then shoots a cross look at the kid, which i got to admit was pretty funny to see his expression. He must have hated me at this point. She then says,"Well, your defiantly not getting this"<br /><br />I told her to look at the ratings on the cases if you want to know if its for you kid, teen, general, etc.<br /><br />This doesn't eliminate bad gaming, but it also shows that some parents don't know anything games, let alone good, bad and inappropriate. So they go with what they do know, Disney, Pixar.<br />Can't go wrong with good ole safe Disney content.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633244481678707141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353108502130670225.post-27924373187126580242009-08-05T13:40:55.844-07:002009-08-05T13:40:55.844-07:00There was a Charlotte's Web game and the Ninte...There was a <i>Charlotte's Web</i> game and the Nintendo DS version that was released in 2006 is still being sold at amazon.com for $19.99 - quick before they run out! ;)<br /><br />Parents should definitely make wise choices when it comes to buying games for their kids - but the best way to handle this is actually to just rent the title: a win-win situation for both the parents and the kids.<br /><br />Most video game critics like to take the easy way out by making conclusions that kids may like a game that they don't like. Of course, no children were interviewed to justify their claim. Why not just review the game on its on merit - good or bad, fun or boring? Kids can decide on their own too and perhaps by making a bad decision by renting bad games that they originally wanted to play very badly, they'll learn to choose better games in the future.Loner Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249291279596903879noreply@blogger.com
