What's It About?
There's no shortage of games at WILDGAMES.COM, and with categories like IQ games, Food, and Kids featuring Dora the Explorer and other favorites, there's plenty of variety, too. The site does feature some light violence -- there's a section of games about blowing stuff up -- but most games involve somewhat cartoonish characters, like aliens and pirates. Games also frequently feature family-friendly goals like finding clues (which are crossed off on a list on the screen as they're discovered) to solve a mystery.
Is It Any Good?
Users need one key thing to enjoy WildGames.com: a lot of time. Some games take 10 minutes or more to download. And it's good to note that Mac users are out of luck as the games are .exe files and only work on PCs. Users click "play" and must download each individual game -- slowly -- to their desktop to use them.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about downloading games. How do you know what's a trusted source to download from? What is a computer virus, and what can it do to your computer? How can you safeguard yourself against accidentally downloading or opening a virus?
