What They Play
// January 1st, 2008 // No Comments » // Games, Youth Ministry
I love video games; it just seems like I can’t find the time to play them anymore! I kind of have an idea of what’s happening in the video game world, but since I’m no longer an “avid player” I found WhatTheyPlay.com to be a tremendous resource. It’s geared toward helping parents (and youth workers) figure out what’s appropriate for their kids to play without making us play through the whole game first. Here’s what my friend and youth ministry blogger Tim Schmoyer had to say about the site:
The reviews are pretty neutral, covering the synopsis of the game and a brief rundown of anything that might be considered inappropriate. The parents are then left to decide if it’s okay for their kids to play or not. A rating at the end indicates what age level other parents think the game is appropriate for, as well as comments and insights from site visitors that I often found to be even more helpful than the original review itself. The screenshots and video trailers posted with each game are also helpful for someone who wants to see visuals of what the game is all about.
