Online gaming and gaming consoles

What is it?

Online games often allow multiple players and are interactive and ongoing (characters and scenarios evolve over time). Many include role-playing and chat/voice options. A video gaming console is an interactive computer or device that uses a TV or monitor to display the video game (e.g. Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, etc.). Players can talk to each other through the Internet via built-in wireless access. The history of conversations using these devices typically cannot be saved.

Popular sites for this age range include Club Penguin, Nick and LEGO.
