When I first signed up, this site was kinda confusing. And now it's time for Pros and Cons. Pros: Good for space junkies, lots of places to visit, cool looking space ships, and a good variety of Space Suits. Cons: You can get lost easily, a little too fast-paced Mini-Games, and I suggest you install Shockwave and Flash before playing, otherwise your computer will crash. Overall, 3/5. (Because I'm not a space junky.)

What Parents Need to Know
About My Tiny Planets
Parents need to know that this space-themed Web site lets users design their own planet. They earn "star" points by playing games and participating in other activities on the site, and then spend the points to purchase spaceships and a wide variety of buildings, landscapes, atmospheres and other features to customize their planets. The games and some other activities are open to all, but only members can adopt a planet; memberships cost 3.95 per month. The site is affiliated with Tiny Planets, a popular British cartoon series, but little of the content refers to the TV show.

Really pretty and a lot of fun
So I enjoyed this site; it's tried really hard to be original, and has this neat space theme. To be honest the graphics are just awesome, but you do need quite a high spec PC to cope with them. Loads of features and games, you've got to have Flash AND Shockwave because there are some 3d games (I played Cosmic Cleanup - a lot!). There's a lot on here too, loads to explore. Good quizzes too. Some were quite hard...! Gets my thumbs up.
