I read this recent article on reviewing games for kids. This site looks like it will be reviewing suitability and age appropriateness so it will be good to bookmark for the future. http://nintendo.about.com/b/a/237551.htm  They already have one that lists profiles of violent games etc. that are unsuitable here:  http://nintendo.about.com/od/gameprofilesforparents/  

Here’s some games that are fun as a family. We have the Game Cube Nintendo System so that is what I know. If you don’t have a game player you can rent one from a video store or borrow one from a neighbour. You don’t have to be an expert to play  ie; You can play them without unplugging everyone else’s controller in order to win. Dance Games; they are hilarious for crowds to watch and all ages can participate. Can’t dance? Not necessary. Can dance? Even better. At Christmas time our whole visiting family played, age 2 to 39 and holding. It would even be fun for parties. Mario franchise games, a lot of these are fun and easy to control. In Double Dash for instance even if you can’t get your car to go in a straight line you can have fun launching weird objects at your opponents or watching your characters fall on and off their carts. Be on the look out for the multi-player symbol on the back of the video game holder (it looks like a little controller) it will state how many people can play at the same time. The more the merrier! Think how pleased your kids will be to finally beat mom and dad at something!
