Video and Online Game Reviews
Catholic Game Reviews is run by Catholics striving to enjoy the entertainment of gaming and critique and appreciate it from a faithfully Catholic perspective. Catoons is the owner and kkairos is the main developer.
They write reviews "with the intent to inform and assist other Catholics in discerning whether playing a given title will be healthy and prudent for their spiritual journey.""As such, we will highlight both things that are morally problematic (sexual content, glorification of violence or graphic violence, etc.) as well as elements that celebrate beauty and virtue. To say nothing of a game’s design and aesthetics, which are its own virtue and excellence as a game."
Parents may check the "Morality/Parental Warnings" section of the game review. This site reviews games rated (by ESRB) E for everyone to M (+17) only. For any other game that you may not find in the review, please contact them through their website link below.
Note: ESRB or Entertainment Software Rating Board is an American self-regulatory organization that assigns age and content ratings to consumer video games.
