Parents Should Test Videogames Before Their Kids Do!
Remember the days of Space Invaders and Centipede for Atari and Mario
and Pouch Out for Nintendo. These games were simple and non violent,
which is perfect for the family. However, the days of very simple
videogames has come to end because now videogames are more sophisticated with
graphics, technology, and even story lines. Some videogames have
incorporated realistic violence and adult themes, which may be okay for adults
to play, but no okay for children. This is why parents should research
and test videogames before they purchase them for children.
Research Videogames
First, parents should conduct some research before they purchase
videogames. The best method of finding up to date information is through the
internet. Parents should look for videogame reviews by visiting popular
videogame stores, videogames message boards, videogames blog, etc. to
determine if the videogame has strong violence and types of adult
themes. This will give parents a good understanding of a particular game;
however, parents' research should not stop here.
Test Videogames
Testing the videogame will give you insight on a particular videogame
than only relying on message boards, reviews, and rumors. Parents will
get first hand experience on the type of violence and adult themes. The
best way of testing videogames is by renting them.

After testing the game, you can make a better decision whether a
particular videogame is okay for your children to play. If the game passes
your test, you can even buy the videogame along with videogame book and
videogame case for up to 50% less than other gaming stores. However if
the game does not pass the test, you simply just put it back in the
prepaid postage envelope and send it back to GameFly. Then, GameFly will
send you another videogame to test for your approval.
By testing videogames, you will encourage your children to play
videogames that are appropriate for their age groups.
