Konami invited a group of mom bloggers and our kids over to take a look at their games. I realized that they have basically two categories of games — Kid-Friendly and Not Kid-Friendly. We only got a glimpse of the Not Kid-Friendly ones — because they’ve apparently won awards for them and have the awards displayed in their offices — we didn’t see or play them, because , need I say it? Not kid-friendly.

Anyway, the Konami Kid-Friendly games are pretty fun, and very appropriate. The two we liked the best were Dance, Dance Revolution and Karaoke Revolution. They also have Frogger and Storybook Workshop, but those didn’t really appeal to my kids. Dance Dance Revolution is very fun to play and is kind of tricky if you’re not on the beat! You get a floor mat to go with it to be able to play. It’s very fun and I could see it being a hit for a playdate or party. Same with Karaoke Revolution: fun for a group and somewhat tricky if you don’t already know most of the words to the song. But that’s what also makes it fun — messing up a little bit!

Thanks to Konami for showing us their games and for providing these pictures!
