Game On! by:Cait McQueen
Let's face it - the older you are - the harder the world of online games is to follow. (I know, because I'm just past my 20s and didn't have a clue until I entered the dark underbelly of gaming and came out the other side.)I didn't dip my toe in the water until my 17-year-old brother challenged me to a game of "Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis" at UGOPlayer.com. Within minutes, he had beaten me at every turn and left me with nothing. It was a sad state of affairs - believe me.But being the "can-do" girl that I am, I vowed revenge! So I took the bull by the horns and started hitting the site every day to check out my brother's favorites (which he graciously supplied me links to), then practiced on those games and found a few others I liked, too. (Can you say Black vs. Gray? Stick men fighting is really pretty hysterical.) Now, I started my gaming adventure with some pretty hardcore matchups (against my brother - the expert). But if you want to start getting into the game, there are some better ways to do it. Head to a site like UGOPlayer.com and check out the games meant for younger kids - this will give you a sense of how to work the controls to get what you ...

Homework has been a perennial headache for kids and teens as well as for their parents. Following are some tips to make homework time more effective and enjoyable for all concerned.1. No TV.
