I agree with most points brought up on that list. I'd recommend any responsible parent to at least take a look at it before buying said games for their children.

 Yeah what is wrong with young boys and older men?

Love ya Soriku <3.

 Congrats you can play whatever you want, but can you buy whatever games you want.  Stores have stated before that they will not sell games to underage kids if they are buying M rated games.  If they are selling games to minors then maybe someone should phone the stores and have a word with them.

I also don't see anything wrong with what they said about that game.

 @LordTheNightKnight, why would i list what the article is saying in this thread?

The best part is, their #1 don't play for kids 'Professor Layton and the Curious Village' is on another list of theirs that kids should be playing

Do they even consult each other when writing these articles?

Dude, please don't talk. Not because I'm offended, but because the kids you seem to be refferring to sure as heck ought to be.

Children are smart, and the only ones who aren't are the ones who keep getting told that games like Zack and Wiki are too hard for them. As long as the content itself is appropriate for kids then you just stay the F*** out of the way of their ability to challenge themselves.

If they're getting frustrated to the point where they're pitching a fit, their parents need to go "okay, that's enough game time, take a break and try again tomorrow" that's what my parents did for me. Otherwise, let them learn, cause kids don't learn based on how old they are. They don't have to reach age 8 before they can learn the multiply/divide technique. They can learn it as early as they're introduced to it and are given a chance to figure it out.

If it's a game, kids are willing to put themselves up to a challenge, to talk to friends about how to beat the challenge and then keep trying to figure out the challenge until they solve it. What happens when they solve it? TADA, the kid has more knowledge and has just expanded his or her mental reasoning skills.

Oh, and yeah, the professor Layton thing is also a sign of severe paranoia. Older guy + younger guy must = Butt buddies despite absolutely no signs, hints, or any other overt circumstances. Even though no kid would POSSIBLY ever have any reason to think about those circumstances being present, I'll tell him not to play it because I'VE come to the conclusion that bad things are happening to characters that are NOT REAL.

Congratulations Grey Acumen! You hit the nail on the head! Get the heck out of kids way by telling them they are not smart enough for this difficult game. LET THEM TRY! They can decide if it is difficult or not.

I suppose it is kinda difficult in this day and age to expect American Exceptionalism to shine through...

i see some of the points of the article, however some of them are pretty far fetched. not all E games are appropriate for all children, it really is on a kid to kid basis and should be left up to the parents to decide. this article gives a decent explanation on why some games might not be appropirate for kids. Hopefully, the parents use good judgement in determing whats appropriate and whats not.

No Spanish for Everyone
this list is the fail

The Zack&Wiki one really made me laugh.

We all know that kids kick arse at videogames, they have more patience, quicker reflexes and more passion for them than adults.
