Understanding Google’s App Content Rating System

Smartphones and tablet PCs with the ability to download apps are becoming more and more common. Letting our children play with our smartphones or tablets while in a waiting room, or the car, is becoming more and more common, too. Here is an in-depth look at Google's new rating system and how it can best be used to shield your children from inappropriate content.

Knock Your Blocks Off Game Review

Get ready for battle! Players must use strategy and tactics to determine what structure is best to build to give them an advantage over their opponents and then judge distance and strength to maximize the damage on their opponent's structure! A fast and fun family game of speed, logic, and mayhem!

Morphology Game Review

In this game, teams must work together to guess what an object or idea is via creative representation through bits of string, beads, wooden pawns, and other small pieces. This is a fast, fun, and creative family and party game that will allow mixed age groups to participate together and provide great social interaction. The game is familiar enough to be easily understood and unique enough to keep everyone interested. Get ready to be challenged, creative, and laugh out loud!

Cookie Fu: Grandmaster Chi Battles Game Review

Cookie Fu: Grandmaster Chi Battles is an entertaining game and a wonderful addition to the growing Cookie Fu universe. The card game is just a natural extension of the dice game and, one could argue, a somewhat better use of the mechanics. All in all, a simply fantastic offering from Blue Kabuto! Gamer Geeks, Parents Geeks, and Child Geeks are going to have a Kung Fu kicking good time!

Spot It! Game Review

In summary, I am very pleased with Spot It! The game is exceedingly light but has a special charm to it that makes it fun to play casually or seriously, quickly or at a slower pace. Spot It! easily adjusts to your needs and changes gears seamlessly from one mini game to another. Simply just a great family and little geek's game!

Dragonland Game Review

Dragonland (or Drachenland) is a game where players move around the board to various volcanoes to collect gems, dragon eggs, magical rings, and special power tokens. The game has fantastic components, a decent scoring system that requires set collecting, and rules that require the player to make subtle logical and critical game choices. This makes the game a good introduction to strategy and tactics. All in all, this is a good game, but it does outstay its welcome a little.
