Fun ahead for online and downloadable gaming.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that smaller kids will need guidance to find the free games so they do not get stuck in an online store's cul-de-sac. Also, even though there's a link to a place called "Online Love Advice," it's harmless. You type in a question and get a random answer.
What's it about?
At this site kids can play a variety of free online games and have the opportunity to download demo copies of (and buy) others. Games include mah jong, jigsaw puzzles, card games, sliders, memory matching and more.
Is it any good?
While many of the games are fun and addictive, the site design leaves a lot to be desired; it's confusing and there are links to other similar sites all over.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about what's a good amount of time for playing online games and can draw up some guidelines for balanced use. Families can also discuss the dangers of downloading files that aren't from a trusted source and can remind kids not to download anything without asking a parent first.
