Video Games are still a giant mystery to many parents who didn’t grow up playing them. Parents who go to video game sections or stores stare at all the title wide eyed and confused. Many just grab titles like Call of Duty or GTA for their 12 and under children not paying attention to the rating or just because the clerk recommends it.
For the parents who want to do their homework, they often get confused as to what titles they should get. While Nintendo has always led the march for family friendly and kid oriented gaming especially with the new parental controls on their switch. Other consoles as well have many kid friendly games that even the big kids can enjoy.
Here’s the top three GeekReply recommended titles that are made for kids large and small:
- MineCraft
(PC, Xbox, Andriod, IOS, Mac, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, Switch)
For kids who love to build, explore and craft items. Minecraft is an open world game where players can make houses, railway systems, fun games, explore temples and hunt monsters. With the addition of realms and add on packs Minecraft has become a game that continues to surprise players at what they can create in this game. It also allows for online play so children can team up with their friends for some creative mayhem. - Stardew Valley
(PC,PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac)
Another fun crafting/farming style game with quests to boot. Players take control of a character they customize who just inherited a farm in the country. Remove plants, and rocks, then till the soil before you plant veggies and other items. While waiting on those to grow take some time to go fishing or explore caves. - The Lego Series
(Ps4, Xbox, PC)
With bonus points of not having to step on any lego pieces, the Lego game series is an amazing journey. Whether you get the Star Wars games, the Jurassic World series, the Marvel series or go all out and buy the Lego Dimensions or even Lego Worlds. You and your children will spend many hours building and searching for golden blocks. It is a great bonding experience that will create many fond memories for your children and you.
Other recommended titles:
Slime Rancher
(Xbox, PC)
An adorable little game where you catch slimes, feed them food and harvest their plorts for profit. You take on the role of Beatrice a novice rancher, who is all alone on her planet. The game is still in development. With the latest release players can now drill for minerals, harvest bee wax and pump for water to craft decorative items and warp pads. The slimes are all a adorable and each come with their own favorite food and care requirements.
Little Big Planet
(Ps4, Ps3, and Vita)
The Playstation exclusive world building and custom adventure game.

Co-op play requires teamwork, and puzzle solving allowing kids to develop problem solving and teamwork skills.
One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!
UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.
UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”
If you like causing carnage, get a move on—Insomniac will spoil the fun in the next update. This indirect approach—what do you think?
On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.
Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”
Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.
In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.
CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.
During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.
Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”
Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
