The National Institute on Media and the Family released it’s 13th annual mediawise Video Game Report Card. If you have kids and are buying video games for Christmas this is a great resource. They say that up to 97% of kids in North America play video games. Warning this is a large document but it is worth looking through. There is a section that talks about recommend games to buy for kids and more importantly the ones to avoid.
