***Media literacy quote of the day (thank you Sr. Rose Pacatte):

How to review a role-playing video game
1. Articulate your personal and family values in writing; these form
your media criteria
2. Go to the video game store with your child and try it out before
buying it
3. Check the rating and see if it is reasonable based on your experience
4. Assess if the "plot" of the game and the choices offered the gamer
meet your criteria
5. Motivate clearly the reasons for your decision to buy or not to buy
with your child
6. If you decide to buy, check eBay or Amazon for used copies and
donate the difference to a charitable cause
7. Play the game together with your child as an equal partner and talk
about it
