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&#8217;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&#8217;s not talking.) Computing With Kids , which puts up one succinct review each week, is another fine review site for kids&#8217; titles. <strong>For mainstream-market games, Angela gives an enthusiastic recommendation for GamerDad<\/strong>, run by folks who love both video games and their kids.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks Angela, we&#8217;re pretty enthusiastic about you right now too!<\/p>\n<p>The whole article is available online, but is locked pending your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2005\/11\/01\/AR2005110100228.html\">free registration.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Sally Finder-Koziol, Senior Editor for Better Homes &amp; Gardens Magazine for the heads up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GamerDad looks at a mention from 2005:In an article titled: Keeping Kids Safe, Online &amp; Off the Washington Post, with help from PCWorld Magazine, recommend several parent friendly game review sites.
