Smarter. Faster. Better.

This is not the first time a study has suggested positive effects of playing video games. This study has some serious merit. Play Xbox with your kids and give them an advantage in life. It can´t hurt unless you screw up as a parent.

Lara "Family Fun" Croft - Guardian of Light

Once in a while a game that's fun for the whole family shows up. One of these is Lara Croft - Guardian of Light downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.


Lara Croft is the strong buxom vixen from the Tomb Raider series. Angelina Jolie played her in two movie adaptations of the games including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Lara has been compared to Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley in the Alien movies as a positive female hero.


The game plays as a combination of Dungeon Crawler, Plat-former, and Puzzle game with a strong cooperative element for two players.


Even though it contains elements that can be scary for 4-6 year olds, it works great with kids from 7 and up. The co-op component is great for siblings or friends to play together and learn to work together. It's even a fun game for parents to play, with each other or with the kids.
