About our Reviews:
1. Our
reviews are not like other game reviews. Most game review sites review a game
based on how fun the game is or how realistic the graphics are. At The Source for Parents our
reviews are designed to give parents detailed information when it comes to a
game's content in 5 different areas: Violence, Bad Language, Sexual Content,
Spiritual Content & Misc. The first 4 specific areas are focused on because
in our experience these are the areas most parents ask about. The Misc.
section is designed for anything else noteworthy about a game we feel parents
may want to be aware of. Also, our reviews may not list out every detail that a
parent might want to know about a game, but we do list what we feel are the
best examples in the game that parents would want to know
about.
2. Some
reviews are based on a partial playthrough of the game. Since our review
team is made up of volunteers, we are not always able to play a game 100% to
completion due to time restraints. The majority of the time a reviewer
will play through a game at least once, but many games today have more than one
possible path to take or more than one possible ending. As such, sometimes our
reviewers are not able to catch everything in a game that a parent might want
to know about.
3. We
are not out to destroy or hurt the video game industry. All of our reviewers consider
themselves to be serious gamers. We recognize, however, that not all games are designed with
children in mind, so our aim is to make parents be aware of a game's content so
that a parent can decide if a game is appropriate for their family or not.
4. Our reviewers work on their own time and money. We do our best to keep
up with what is current, but because our reviewers work on their own
time and money, this means that we are not always able to provide a review for
every game released. Still, we try to provide you with what is most popular.
If, however, you have a request for a game you would like to see reviewed,
please e-mail us with that request. We will do our best to assist you.
