Our 10 year old wants to buy all sorts of stuff for WII and DS, and your info is invaluable. My taste in games tends towards Tetris and other old &#8220;lame&#8221; things our son will have nothing to do with.\u00a0 From a parent who is a fan of your site.\u00a0 (I have told all my friends at a parenting list-serve about you too.)<\/em>\u00a0 &#8212; Anonymous<\/p>\n<p>Wow. Thanks and you&#8217;re welcome. I normally don&#8217;t print letters like this &#8211; we get them fairly often &#8211; but the reader has given me a chance to defend my favorite game ever!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Tetris is NOT lame!\u00a0 Seriously! It&#8217;s the finest game ever made and I adore it.\u00a0 Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/detail.cfm?itemID=3300\">Tetris DS<\/a>. They did the unthinkable, they improved Tetris. How?\u00a0 Head-to-head multiplayer.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/detail.cfm?itemID=3300\">Go ahead read the review and then try and find the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I take your point though. I do run GamerDad because I can easily imagine what it must be like for parents who are clueless about today&#8217;s games and I know it helps because I have a built in filter system.\u00a0 My wife.\u00a0 GamerMom isn&#8217;t much of a gamer and that&#8217;s why a nerd like me understands so well how the mainstream non-gamers think.\u00a0 Games are weird, scary, and much safer than they look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your site is great.
