Ask About Games answers questions parents and players have about video game age ratings and provide advice on how to play games responsibly, by taking regular breaks and so on.

The way games are played today is shifting rapidly.  Originally most games were just for one player and played on one computer or games console. But the advent of the high speed internet and the ease with which computers can communicate means that online games are more popular. The level of interaction parents and guardians enable children to have is entirely up to them. All of today's next generation consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita) offer parental controls so that adults can lock down just what, how and how long children play games.

If you have a question about age ratings or safe playing tips, or want to discover the best games to play yourself or with your family askaboutgames.com is here to help.
