I’m David M., one of the contributing authors to this site. Our goal is to inform others of family friendly games. I write reviews, game guides, tips, tricks, and other helpful articles. My experience with games goes way back since I’ve been playing video games a long time. For an indication of how long, my pong game was fire.
As for modern games, my kids run circles around me. Still, we always have a good time. Whether it’s party or family games our family is usually found playing them. Strategy and battle games are among my favorites. I like writing about games almost as much as I do playing them. My favorite games are: Moving Out 2, Out of Space and Overcooked All You Can Eat.
