Most of these games are family friendly and appeal to a huge range of interests and ages. Kids will enjoy sharing what they love with their parents, and parents can feel good about getting involved in their kids' media lives. We still recommend age-appropriate time-limits and games that encourage positive interactions.
Games We Love to Play
Here are some of our favorite active games:
Get Fit at Home
The American Heart Association found that playing active video games helps families be more physically active outdoors, too.
Fitness Games
From full-on work outs to dance-fueled fun, these active games are a great way to mix exercise and entertainment.
Wii Balance Board Games
If you've got a Wii Balance Board, these games will put your abilities to the test.
Good Health Games
The games on this list help promote good health habits (they're not technically active, but they're still fun to play, too!).
Kinect Games
With the Kinect, your body becomes the controller.
Playstation Move Games
Because the PS3 Move works in conjunction with a camera, in some of these games, you'll find yourself literally in the heart of the action.

Classic Game Room is a new member of the Classic Game Room family. A more relaxed, subdued show about classic video games from the past 30 years. In Crysal Castles you are Bentley Bear, a bear on a mission, a mission to collect crystals from the floors of castles and dodge walking trees. This kids game from the 1980's for the Atari 2600 is far from being a classic, yet it is an interesting look at a unique take on a Pac Man style.

Joel McHale Talks Spy Kids and His Community Character's Life After College
Joel McHale may be at the top of his game, but his two kids think he would be much cooler if he drove a LEGO truck. That could change, though, once they see him in the upcoming Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D. We recently talked to the actor, who plays the somewhat-clueless husband to undercover spy Jessica Alba, at a press day for the movie in downtown LA. He talked with us about having fun with the family-film role and also weighed in on what might be ahead for his Community characte

MairBair57 said...Has everyone forgotten about BOARD GAMES? There are tons of wonderful board games out there that whole families can play together and allow for human interaction. Get yourselves a copy of Pandemic or Ticket to Ride or even Clue....and card games like Monopoly Deal, Split or Phase 10! Build social skills and use your brains! And then go outside and play like we did back in the 60s! Video games are not the only games in town!
