Welcome to GamerDad: Gaming with Children. My name is Andrew S. Bub - the GamerDad - and I've been writing about videogames, movies, and children for over 15 years now. After working as a magazine journalist, I switched gears to write about how media violence affects children, educating parents about them, and working closely with magazines, newspapers, major retailers and even politicians. GamerDad is an internationally recognized expert in this field. Games, movies and media are fun, kids and families love them, they aren't going away. So join me in cutting through the hype and lets have a real conversation about the things that matter: Video Games, Violent Media, and their supposed effect on children and families.

Toki Tori 2 (PC, Wii U)
Posted on April 12th, 2013 by
Way back in the year 2001, a little game called Toki Tori was released on the Game Boy Color that was a technical marvel (still have my copy). Toki Tori was a platform puzzler game where you helped guide a little yellow chick as he collected eggs and used tools and powers to solve puzzles. It also looked and sounded great for a Game Boy Color title, and even rivaled the new-at-the-time Game Boy Advance system. Since then, the original Toki Tori has been ported to several other consoles in downloadable form with HD graphics, including Steam on PC and the original Wii. Now, more than ten years later, Toki Tori is finally getting a sequel, downloadable on Wii U and PC (Wii U version reviewed here).
