Re: Parent Trap: Children Are Our Future, So Let Them Play

@Gerbwmu finding games to play together has been a key one for us. I'm often surprised by what we take to. In fact since writing this we've had a resurgence with Let's Catch WiiWare game. It's not only surprisingly detailed game-play mechanics but deals with significant issues like abandonment, family break up and unrequited love. Certainly lots to talk about.

@rjejr it will be interesting to see how tastes and gaming behaviour changes as my children get older. The boys being 6 and 8 perhaps I'm not seeing the same pattern as yours yet. Have they tried Disney Infinity? My kids like that because it's more co-operative and your can go your own way.

@rjejr that's very kind. You are right that in many ways this doesn't appear to be a family game, but that's my point. Unexpectedly this has functioned (and been enjoyed) as much as other family friendly games with multiplayer and the like.
The visuals, Link character, story-telling and locations work together to get the whole family involved. I wonder if this would work for your family?
