New video game great to play with your kids

Steven Spielberg has created a video game called Boom Blox for the Wii game system where players use the conroller to fling things at towers and fortresses made of toy blocks. Boom Blox is the first of three games from Spielberg. It is a family-friendly game centered around the low-key destructive kicks that come from knocking down toy fortresses and towers made out of toy blocks. To play, a user points the Wiis controller at the screen and makes flinging motions with his/her arm to wreak some G-rated havoc with the game's virtual baseballs or other projectiles. What's nice about this game is two things: one there are not too many titles that you can play with your young children and two there is no greater joy on a child's face then when he is destroying and knocking down blocks he/she has set up in a big stack. And to be able to do this with your parents and enjoy it with them? Priceless. Our kids have a natural knack for destruction :o) so this game allows them to enjoy this in a safe manner (safe for you, the siblings, and the house). This game will cut down on fights between siblings. How many of us have had one child come crying to us because they spent tons of time working an a creation only to have a sibling walk by and knock it down? Spielberg created this game to address "the abyss between him and his kids" when it came to video games. He wanted a game he could play with them. I am glad Spielberg created a game to connect us more with our children.
