Ask the staff for advice on kid-friendly titles. You will use a lot of variables in making a decision on whether or not to purchase a game for kids of a certain age, so make sure you have some titles to choose from.

Make sure you take cover if reloading a weapon during a shooting game. It is common for players to be gunned down while a reload is happening, and you watch helplessly. Do not fall victim to this. Find a safe, covered area where you can reload.

Up the brightness on your TV. Games set in dark caverns and abandoned warehouses may have great ambiance, but your game play can severely suffer. Colors tend to blend together in the dark, and you can have a hard time spotting your enemies. Even though the ambiance of the game will be affected slightly, increase the screen brightness. Distinguishing colors is easier and you can get the jump on your enemies.

Look at the ESRB rating before buying a game for your kids. Sometimes the covers of games can be deceptive. They may look like they are for young children when they really are not. It's important to not only check the rating, but also the actual objectionable material (e.g. language, suggestive themes) that caused it to get that rating.

If your children are quite young, you will want to completely disable all chat features. Children under the age of ten don't really need to chat. If the game won't let you disable chat, don't buy it. Speak with someone familiar with the game before making a purchase.

Understand the safety as well as content settings for all games you have. There are often choices to prevent younger members of the family from seeing adult or questionable content. Sometimes you can even create individual profiles with customized settings, which allows older family members to enjoy games that aren't appropriate for the younger set.
