According to the latest finds, kids tend to avoid eating vegetables if they are referred to by means of simple terms, such as carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, and so on. Instead, scientists say, parents should learn how to give new, cool, and exciting names to veggies, so that children would eat them. Something like X-r... |

The gaming industry has always been blamed for many things. Violent games like the ones from the Grand Theft Auto series, despite being rated for a Mature audience, were accused of manipulating children and encouraging violent behavior in young people.

Every now and then, it's really helpful to get some outside guidance regarding what you, as a human being, should do in order to keep this old planet alive.

EA made a new step regarding original IPs: they have just announced the development of Zubo, a game created for kids aged 7-11. We know it's not exactly the title that we're waiting from Electronic Arts, but at least is a good way to start. Hopefully, this title is not just a "mistake" and other original IP... |

I must say I'm shocked, I feel outdated and completely out of this world, even though I'm in my mid 20s, for God's sake! But there are some games out there that just make me wonder. And I'm not talking about obscure, independent and M rated games where you are "Mr. Robot" and you have to please "U... |

Casual games are the "next big thing." That's what everyone says, what everyone designs and what everyone seems interested in. But looking at the actual offering of casual games, one can easily see that most of them are clones of classics like Bejeweled or Space Invaders and offer little to nothing in terms of i... |

It's always nice to know that the range of video games for kids keeps growing and the big companies care. For profit, indeed, but it makes us forget them a little bit when it comes to kids. And, since the Disney Characters were the ones who brought joy to our (at least, my) world when we were younger, I think it... |

Breaking news: Britney Spears, everyone, finally got to see her two tots. She hadn't seen them in almost six weeks, and the last time she saw them, she was holding one of them hostage, so yes, I think it must have been a pretty tense meeting. In fact, now that I mentioned this aspect, it's probably a good t... |

Here we are taking our daily dose of Britney madness, and since just about the whole Earth population is following the crazy popwreck's latest exploits, it's best to at least try to keep things in proportion - to the best of our abilities and not turn Britney into anything she's not - and believe me, i... |

We've all known for a very long time that Britney is definitely not the sharpest crayon in the box, if you know what I mean. But now, after she infamously lost custody of her two boys and seemed perfectly happy about it two days ago, certain facts have come to light that prove - predictably - that it would have ... |

Let's play a little game. No, I'm not playing Jigsaw and this is not a bad remake of the "Saw" movies, although it is grotesque, absurd and it does have a horror side to it. But just for a second, let's all pretend to be Brit Brit, who - as I'm sure you have heard and if not you can get up to spee... |

Certainly, I'm in no position to tell parents how to raise their children, but I can surely say a lot about what dangers lurk around on the Web. Cyber-security is not an issue for kids to handle, but parents should seriously think about it, when letting the little ones surf the Net. Now besides the fact that chi... |

Britney's former bodyguard Tony Baretto finally told his story to News of the World, and to use a common (if not very elegant) phrase, the s**t really hit the fans this time.
