The Daily Grind: Favorite family-friendly games
The axiom goes that "the family that plays together, stays together." However, since I first heard that particular phrase, the games have changed from the "bang two rocks together" or "run away from the big dinosaurs" of my own youth into sophisticated, online worlds with everything from basic web-embedded mini-games to fully-blown downloadable clients. Parents who want to avoid having their cards listed online can get cash cards for these games at Target, 7-11, and the like as they've become so common.
With that said, there are always some that are better than others in terms of keeping the family engaged. That's why this morning, we thought we'd ask you all what your favorite family games are? Do you like playing Free Realms with your tweens? Is Pirates of the Caribbean Online your destination once their chores are done? Perhaps your kids are a bit older and like playing things like Runes of Magic or perhaps even its subscription cousin, World of Warcraft with you on occasion? Or do you instead prefer to kick it old-school with weekly board games or maybe just Rock Band, leaving the MMOs for when they're older? What games get your family together for some geek bonding time?
