What Parents Need to Know

About Shockwave

Parents need to know that there are some great games on this site, but unfortunately we can't recommend it to anyone but mature audiences. Kids pass around the addresses to the latest trendy Shockwave game or animation, and once they are on the site, parental control is "Game over, man."
