Play the Game: The Parent's Guide to Video Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most books about video games that are aimed at parents pick a side. Either video games are good for your child or they will warp your child forever. Not so with Play The Game. Play the game is the most balanced guide I've seen for parents.
Play The Game is a fantastic guide book for parents who know nothing about video games, going over very basic things such as 'what's a controller' and 'what's it mean when my child says he's playing an "FPS"'. Simultaneously it also makes a excellent reference book for parents who play games themselves, offering insights into how to maximize your play time with your child.
Play The Game's strength lies in not judging video games. The book seems to accept that games can be either a positive or negative force in a child's life and really focuses on helping parents ensure that games are positive for their child and their family.
