Parents looking for more information on what games are safe for their kids are now armed with a new resource.

[URL=http://www.familyfriendlyvideogames.com]FamilyFriendlyVideogames[/URL] focuses on “games that are easy to play and fun for families to play together.” Each reviewed game will feature a score based on how fun the game is for a family to play as a group, along with detailed information on which age groups a game’s subject matter is safe for. Age recommendations are broken down into Toddler (2-4), Kid (5-8), Tween (9-12) and Teen (13+) categories.

Accepted games receive a Seal of Approval from the site, offering parents a way to judge games with a quick glance. Progress Reports are also offered for games that the site has not had a chance to review yet, allowing parents to at least access some basic information on the title.

The site was launched by the husband/wife team of Johner and Christina Riehl. Johner, a former videogame industry veteran on the PR front, on why the site was started, “It's difficult for a family to find relevant information when deciding whether or not to buy a videogame to play together, because many of the traditional media outlets that provide videogame reviews don't represent the family viewpoint.”
