A report from the Joan Gantz Cooney Centre explains how interactive parenting can benefit your child in a media-saturated world.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.

Good read. I totally think that parenting should adapt to the media-saturated environment children grow up in. Gaming for one can be a fantastic tool to educate and share one-on-one time with. Heck, it can be time spend on entertainment as well as education with the parent. It is something overlooked by most parents today, they use games as a tool to just keep kids busy.
Nice positive story!
I think that interactive gaming is cheaper and easier than going out to buy puzzles for interest to let your child play. It saves space as well. It is progression, but as per any tool used by the youth, must be closely monitored by parents.
