I don't mind if my kids play
video games, but I have two rules: no more than 30 minutes per day, and nothing with blood, guts, guns, and other violent images.
That leaves out a lot of the most popular releases, like Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Medal of Honor 3, and even

PlayStation or
Wii, you can choose from dozens of fun-filled titles that haven't a trace of violence, gore or adult themes.
