Family Video Games

Finding family video games can sometimes be a challenge, but there are a few video games either on the market now or very soon will be, that are equally fun for video gamers, young and old alike. There is also a healthy new trend in the video game world to create games that are more mind engaging than mind numbing and taking a cue from Nintendo's wii are being designed to excercise more than just our thumbs - like Sony's Playstation Move or the hugely popular Kinect for Xbox 360 from Microsoft. Offered here are a few of these new family video games or perhaps video games for Christmas 2010 since they should all be available by then. If you do plan to give them as a gifts however, just make sure the video games you buy are intended for the video game system your gamer owns,... the return game is really no fun at all.

Also worth mentioning are a couple of great video game sites you may want to check out if you haven't already. N4G.com is a great way to get the scoop on what's hot and what's not in video games and video gaming systems. It's up-to-date, easy to navigate and with video game reviews and ratings from the video gamers themselves,this site is definetly one you'll want to bookmark. As far as video games for kids, there is also a video game website for parents or anyone concerned about just what's in that video game you're about to purchase. Common Sense Media.org is a wonderful resource giving you a clue as to the content of video games and other media as well as what message they may be sending. Both of these sites are highly recommended and will help insure that in the future, there will be quality family video games.
