WhatTheyPlay site helps parents choose games

Yahoo Tech has just posted their latest CES discovery – a new website for parents called WhatTheyPlay. Offering game advice and information to parents in the form of reviews and editorials, Yahoo points to the site’s greatest strengths: its community features (the comments sections allow parents to ask and answer questions) and objectivity.

It’s a fantastic idea – a place where parents can go to get unbiased information without the mainstream media’s tendency to demonize games (and blame them for all of society’s ills). Parents who are concerned with content and ratings can be sure they’re buying age appropriate titles, and folks who would like to play with their kids can also find a wealth of information (the yahoo piece cites a recent article “Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Miis” as a good example).

WhatTheyPlay was actually co-founded by former 1up editorial director John Davison, so you can be sure the content is coming from a well-informed source.
