One of the most intense titles in the Metal Gear game series: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, is about to get more ‘in-your-face’ in 3D on the Nintendo 3DS handheld. My brother Jeff is a Metal Gear Solid fanatic, so he gets the honor of doing a reader review. So here’s his take on Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.
Reader Review: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3, 360)
Posted on November 27th, 2011 by
One of Konami’s most recognized and successful game series, Metal Gear Solid, was a major player in contributing to the stealth game genre. Now you can enjoy three of the games in the series in HD with the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. I’m not an expert on Metal Gear games, but my brother Jeff loves them, so I had him do a quick review of this classic compilation (360 version reviewed here)
BlizCon 2011 – KidReport
Posted on November 1st, 2011 by
Just a few short weeks ago, we sent our kid reporter on the scene (well, teenager now) to make his annual pilgrimage to BlizzCon (with his mom, of course). Here’s what he thought of the action…
On October 21-22, 2011, Anaheim, California was flooded with Blizzard fanatics from around the world, there to see Blizzard’s world renowned convention: BlizzCon! Every year thousands of people around the globe gather in the Anaheim Convention Center for a sneak peak at what Blizzard is engaged in at the time, complete with panels, demos, and free stuff. I was among the crowd, weaving my way through the masses, toward the convention center, speculating about the new World of Warcraft expansion that I had heard nothing about yet.
Reader Review: Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (PS3, 360)
Posted on October 11th, 2011 by
The original Dead Rising zombie game starred photojournalist Frank West, but the sequel featured a new main character. But if you missed good ol’ Frank from the first game, well, you’re in luck. Just in time for the month of Halloween it’s Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It’s the same game as before, but now you can play as Frank West and take pictures. My brother and Dead Rising fan, Jeff Orth, will be guest reviewing this one today (360 version reviewed here).
Reader Review: Wizardry DLC: Shadow of the Red Sister (PS3)
Posted on August 11th, 2011 by
Recently I got a chance to review Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, a downloadable title for PS3. I knew going into the review that it was based on an old PC RPG, but I didn’t think much of it. I even wondered why XSEED would even release it in the US. But now I know why. An amazing thing happened after I posted the review: I got a TON of comments from Wizardry enthusiasts! When I got an opportunity to review some downloadable content for Wizardry on the PS3, I knew I wasn’t fit to review it. So I decided to have a Wizardry fan and online friend Tami B. take a stab at it. So here is her review of Wizardry’s DLC, Shadow of the Red Sister.
BlizzCon 2010 – Kid Report

For the past few years, we’ve sent our very own Aiden (and his mom) out to cover BlizzCon, the gaming convention of all things Blizzard, for GamingWithChildren. BlizzCon 2010 was held just last month, and here’s what Aiden had to day about the event.
Reader Review: Dead Rising 2 (Xbox 360, PS3)
Posted on October 19th, 2010 by
Just in time for Halloween comes the sequel to Dead Rising. This time, instead of taking over a shopping mall, the undead have overrun the fictional Fortune City, a Vegas lookalike. Just as in the first game, you can pick up nearly anything and use it as a weapon against the droves of zombies. And now you can play online and play games on a pretend zombie reality TV show! Definitely more campy than scary. My brother Jeff is such a Dead Rising fan, I thought I’d have him take a stab at reviewing it. So here’s high school senior Jeff Orth’s review of Dead Rising 2!

Battlefield: Bad Company – Reader Review
Posted on September 7th, 2010 by
Reader reviews are from readers here at GamerDad. Many of them are written by kids under 15 and that makes them a valuable insight into how kids really think about games. So, without further ado, here’s Vincent’s (13) take on this Mature Teen rated wargame:
The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai (Reader Review)
Posted on April 28th, 2010 by
ROFLCopter (age 15) has found an odd little game available on Xbox Live Arcade. It is likely the best game about a Samurai dishwasher (the job, not the appliance) ever made. Ladies and gentlemen, I present The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai and thank you ROFLCopter (readers can submit any review of any game they like at the email to your left)
Scribblenauts – Reader Review
Posted on April 14th, 2010 by
Triumph is a 24-year old and he’s submitted this review of a really cool concept DS game called Scribblenauts. This is a Reader Review, meaning a reader, like you, has written it. I like giving readers and parents the chance to read other perspectives on games. Games you might like, or want to stay away from and I’ll take them from any reader of any age. It’s about perspective. Please use the Email link to your left to contribute!
