Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Hungry Chicks is an arcade game that casts players as a mother bird (and sometimes two) trying to feed her/their children. While avoiding obstacles and barriers, the birds must collect worms on screen and bring them to a nest. Among those barriers are electric gates and spikes, which result in the end of the level if the player comes in contact with them. The violence is minimal, though, and cartoonish. Younger kids might find the game challenging, but there's nothing too objectionable content-wise.

Is It Any Good?
If you've grown wary of any game that hints at "birds" in the title, you're hardly to blame, but HUNGRY CHICKS isn't a knock-off of Angry Birds. It's actually a fun, though ultimately forgettable, bite-sized gaming diversion. The game, tailored for the iPhone and iPod Touch, is more complex and challenging than it seems at first glance, adding a second bird to the mix after a few levels, which forces players to collect the right number of worms for their specific nests. The controls are a bit odd and take some getting used to, but work well enough. And avoiding the obstacles can be a fun brain-teaser. It's not a game you'll find yourself raving about, but it's one you may find yourself playing to pass the time -- and since it's cheap, it's a safe investment.
