A big part of the responsibility of being a parent, is moderating what your child does and sees.  Depending on their age, you should help them choose what to watch on television and what video games they play.

I am at the point where my children want to play video games - and I need to step in and help them make responsible choices.  Since I do not know a whole lot about the video games today, I make choices based on the reviews I read.

From the Wii game reviews and Xbox 360 game reviews I read, my choice is clear: the Xbox 360 is not appropriate for my children.  Their games are full of violence and geared towards adults - and for my five year old, he would be to impressionable to play those games.

So, my decision is clear - I should get a Nintendo Wii.  With the bunch of family oriented game and potential exercise they could get from playing, this is definitely what I will buy.
