New levels, new characters, and new features keep the Lego Star Wars game exciting and fresh!
ESRB Rated E10 for age 10 and up.
"My son started playing this game when he was 5 and he loved it. The absolute best part of the game is that a second player can drop in and out at any time. So if he gets stuck, I can join in for a few minutes and help him...The violence in the game is all muted/cartoon violence. When guys die they break apart into little Lego pieces. When things blow up, they break into Lego chunks."

ESRB Rated E for everyone.
"My 2 1/2 year old niece loves Jump Rope and some of the other jumping games. It's a great way to get everyone off the couch and having fun."
"I got the wii mostly for myself, but of course my 5 year old and 2 year old were all over it... Even my 2 year old can play enough to feel like he is participating with the family. So the age range is huge and this really is fun for the whole family and makes for great family quality time."

In Super Mario Galaxy, join Mario in his next adventure that takes him into space. Bowser has abducted Peach's entire castle and Mario finds himself on a mysterious moon high above the Mushroom Kingdom! Collect enough stars and you can save Princess Peach.

Two people can play this game at the same time, but the second player is actually only helping the first player by collecting stars and other helpful tasks.
The game is not rated yet, but seems to be for the age of 8 and on up.
"My 8 year old son can't get enough of this game - he wants to play it every night, and talks about it during the day. He and his dad have bonded over strategy and discussion of galaxies. My toddler daughter is often captivated by the graphics..."

Need a Wii?
One of the best gaming platforms for families. You have a wide selection of games to choose, different gaming levels, and plenty of fun.
Read this review from someone who has been using the Wii for over two years now.
"I ...think the Wii has become a 'Family Console'. It's not just kids who will enjoy this. Seniors can have fun bowling without knowing anything "Tricky" about how to use a video game unit. It's very intuitive. Moms can easily play with their kids, each with their own Wii profile. Adults having parties can have fun passing the controllers around. Family groups can share slideshows on the big screen while hanging out..."

Wii
Amazon Price: $199.99 (as of 12/17/2009)
Nintendo's Wii brings back the fun in video game systems. Great for families with kids of any age!
The Wii remote almost seems magical. For a tennis game, it becomes a racket. In driving games, it becomes a steering wheel. Being so easy to handle is what makes this video game system great for all ages.
Littlest Pet Shop
In Littlest Pet Shop, your child gets to collect and name 32 pets. Over 100 accessories are included so you can dress your pets in fun things like scarves and glasses. Then, watch your child compete in mini games with their pets. I am sure Mom and Dad will right there, too!
"My daughter got this game for her 6th birthday and she loves it... She loves to play dress up, so being able to dress her pets, buy them pretty things, and name them is pure joy for her. She needs some help with reading...but otherwise she does just fine playing this game."
ESRB Rated E for Everyone

"I don't usually write reviews, but my 3 year old has so much fun with this game, I had to let other parents know. After about an hour of playing, my son was able to master this game by himself. He is so proud he has a game he can do without help..."

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Zelda is a classic. And in this Wii, The Legend of Zelda has been updated so fans can enjoy playing it again.
In this version, Link is a teenager and must save his world from the ravages of dangerous magic.
Zelda is the only T rated lens included on this lens. Little kids can't play the game alone, but they certainly can have a good time with the simpler puzzles in the beginning of the game.
"I think they struck a great balance between "tame enough for younger kids" and "in depth enough for older players". There are a lot of teen and adult Zelda fans out there, and they'll be quite pleased with what the game offers..."
ESRB Rated T for Teens
As one reviewer stated, "Link is less cartooney in this game. That's not to say it's a mature title - it's still a game without blood. You kill evil enemies who vanish in a puff of smoke. You go on a variety of quests, and it's very much good-against-evil...."

- We have a few of these games and my boys have been asking for some of the others. It's fun to be able to play an "active" video game with your kids. This is the first I've heard of the Active Life Outdoor Challenge. That one sounds especially interesting! Great lens!
