Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–18

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Plenty of shooting and sniper games.
  • Sex:

    Site links with names like "Girl Fight," "Beautiful Girl," and "Sxey [sic] Girl Videos" take kids to Google Ad pages with outside links to porn, online dating sites, a how-to kiss a man article, and more.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Ads galore: pop-ups, shaking, animating, talking, fake messages, and contests...you name it, it's there. Kids will find ads for credit cards, online dating sites, 3D chat sites, and "anime babes."
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

About GirlGameZone

    I rate this title iffy for age 15 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Excessive consumerism
    • Negative message
    • Safety is an issue

    Bad site!!!

    There are a ton of ads, and the layout is very annoying. I found it difficult to get around the site. I also couldn't tell which links were spam, and which were just part of the site. There were games that I did not approve of at all, such as Ouija Boards.
