Retro: GamerDad in the Washington Post

wapo.jpgGamerDad looks at a mention from 2005:In an article titled: Keeping Kids Safe, Online & Off the Washington Post, with help from PCWorld Magazine, recommend several parent friendly game review sites. All are recommended with “reservations” except for, yes, you guessed it. Here’s a quote:

 

“…it’s good to look at some of the specialized review sites out there, which tell not only whether the game is age-appropriate, but whether it’s boring or stupid. Different sites care about different issues; EdutainingKids.com , for instance, focuses on games that are appropriate for kids (as opposed to titles like, say, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ). Steve thinks they’re a little more positive about such matters than he is. (Angela suspects that most sentient creatures are more positive about most things than her co-host is, but she’s not talking.) Computing With Kids , which puts up one succinct review each week, is another fine review site for kids’ titles. For mainstream-market games, Angela gives an enthusiastic recommendation for GamerDad, run by folks who love both video games and their kids.”

Thanks Angela, we’re pretty enthusiastic about you right now too!
