How to protect the ones you love...

Along with the ESRB all 3 systems have some level of parental controls that are accessible through the systems main menus. These can help you manage what content is accessible on the system and allow you to put in some form of password to protect it. I will give a brief explanation on the Nintendo and Playstation controls, along with a link to all 3's web site's parental control pages. I will go into more depth with the Xbox's as that is not only my personal system, but also because I think it is the better of the three for control.

What your kids are playing...

I am getting to the age where I now know a lot more parents, some of them are fellow gamers, others have never picked up a controller in their life. In a world where video games are out selling most blockbuster movies and more and more game consoles coming to homes there might be a few of you with concerns.

Maybe you read something in the news about how video games are destroying the very fabric of family values or some shit like that. Well they aren't, those families were doomed from the start.
