Yes, it is Blockbuster Season. For us parents this means it is time to spend lots of money on movie tickets and popcorn, only to be tortured by obnoxious kids in poorly air-conditioned theaters, while watching movies we really don’t care about. In the past the punishment was over after 2 hours, but thanks to Hollywood’s growing interest in Videogames which translates to more of your money and your kids allowances, you now have to play or at least listen to below average Videogames too. And if you thought $10 for a movie ticket is a lot, a videogame will set you back $49 to $59.

Why do we know this? Because KidConfidence is created by parents for parents.

KidConfidence Videogame Parent Tip 1: Check with us first. Kidconfidence will review every Movie related Videogame for you and your kids. Simply check our website a couple days after the movie has been released. We will show you and your kids actual gameplay footage of the Videogame. Many other websites only offer written reviews, but KidConfidence believes that a video can say more that 1000 words. If there is any questionable content or violence in the game you can be sure to see it in our Video Review.

KidConfidence Videogame Parent Tip 2: Rent don’t buy. Movie based Videogames are known to be short and shallow. Your child will complete the game in several days. Blockbuster and Gamefly offer relatively cheap Videogame rentals and programs that offer monthly memberships
