GamerPop’s new friend Johner Riehl of  familyfriendlyvideogames.com has a great post up at GameTheoryOnline, talking about families playing games together. Obviously that’s near and dear to our hearts as well, and we’re always happy to share well-written and information content about it. This is the first in a new series on GameTheoryOnline looking at gaming from a family point of view.

Great-grandma loved it.  All the aunts and uncles were dancing.  Cousins were singing along.  Even the two-year olds were getting in on the action.  What was it that brought all these generations together at a recent family reunion? The video game Just Dance from Ubisoft.

Mind you, we’ve played our fair share of Rummikub or Balderdash at these yearly events. But last year was the first time that any game provided a way for our entire clan to participate in something with everyone at the same time.  The trick to making this lasting memory was finding the right game, and in this case, the right video game.
