A lot of red flags with Addicting Games dot com. Holy Moly! My son was watching Spongebob on Nickelodeon and came running to me asking if he could go on Addicting Games dot com. AddictingGames is a website advertised by Nickelodeon and they partner to be a part of Nickelodeon's

site (nick dot com). Since it's on Nickelodeon's site, I didn't think I had too much to worry about. I was wrong! I'm glad I checked out Addicting Games dot com before letting him play. On the surface, Addicting Games dot com seems like a typical flash-style kids website with hundreds (literally) of arcade action games designed to take a few minutes each to play. I usually don't have a problem with my 8 year old playing a few of these games in moderation. I do however have a major problem with some of the games featured on Addicting Games dot com. Many of the games featured on this site are quite violent and even sexual in nature! Think I'm overexaggerating? How about game titles like: Age of War, Candy the Naughty Cheerleader, Sneaky Sniper, Ricochet Kills, Barnsville Massacre, Hit Squad, 13 More Days in Hell and Stick Dude Killing Arena. Yes, the games are that violent. I can't believe Nickelodeon advertises for this kind of garbage! In addition to the violent content games, the site has a plethora of pop-up ads. There is no way I would recommend this site to any child (or even any teenager).
