What media do you enjoy when the kids are asleep?

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Game: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate language
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

      Good game, but not for kids. The single player campaign alternates between disturbing and boring, but multiplayer is awesome. Of course, thats just another reason its not great for kids.

    • Game: Call of Duty: World at War

      I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
      My concerns are:
      • Excessive violence
      • Inappropriate language

        • Game: Halo 3: ODST

          I rate this titleonand give it4.0
          My concerns are:
          • Excessive violence
          • Inappropriate language

          • My highlights are:
          • Positive messages

          Probably a little less violent and scary than Halo 3, but more suspenseful. Audio tape files that you find are interesting (well-acted), but intense (lots of peril and mass panic). Great for older ...
