There's no shortage of video games out there for kids to enjoy
and/or obsess over. While the Wii has come along and presents a
relatively wholesome gaming experience, there are many games out
there that may cross the line for some players - and their
parents.
WhatTheyPlay.com is a website intended to educate
parents about the available games and their contents to let
parents decide whether the game is right for their child. It's a
clean, easy to use interface that's easily navigated by
selecting tabs by gaming system or through a simple search.
Results can be filtered by age, rating, etc. The database is
huge and even the most recent games are listed, so finding the
game in question should not be a problem.
Where the site really shines is in the exhaustive descriptions
of each game, warnings and community involvement. You can read
comments and reviews by other parents and kids and registered
users can make comments of their own. There is also a frequently
updated blog for all the latest in gaming news as it relates to
concerned parents.
