Welcome to GamerDad: Gaming with Children. My name is Andrew S. Bub - the GamerDad - and I've been writing about videogames, movies, and children for over 15 years now. After working as a magazine journalist, I switched gears to write about how media violence affects children, educating parents about them, and working closely with magazines, newspapers, major retailers and even politicians. GamerDad is an internationally recognized expert in this field. Games, movies and media are fun, kids and families love them, they aren't going away. So join me in cutting through the hype and lets have a real conversation about the things that matter: Video Games, Violent Media, and their supposed effect on children and families.

The Pizza Pixel Podcast Episode 28: 30 Year Game Reviewing Anniversary
Hey folks! Got a very special podcast for you today! 30 years ago this summer, I started writing game reviews for a major newspaper, and I’ve written game reviews for other newspapers and websites ever since! When I did this for my 20 year anniversary, I just wrote a blog, so I figured I’d be different this time and do a podcast. So come join me as I share my favorite memories and experiences writing game reviews for 30 years!

We Adore the PS4 Part 2: Biggies and Indies
In the last part of my PS4 tribute blog, we looked at the games I enjoyed on the PS4 that were classic collections or remakes. And on this one, we’ll look at the more AAA titles (well as AAA as I get anyway), as well as the indie titles on the opposite end of the spectrum. Like I said before, most of these games you can enjoy on other platforms, I just played them on PS4.
We Adore the PS4 Part 1: Classics and Collections
When a game console is considered “dead,” I like to write a tribute blog about that console and its games. While most people would probably consider the PS4 ‘dead’ for a while now, I’m still reviewing games for it. I guess a game console is really only considered ‘dead’ once you stop playing it. But since recently I wasn’t able to get simple games like LEGO Batman and Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection on the PS4, I figured it was about time. I’ll probably do a similar blog with the original Switch later towards the end of this year. Most of the games on this list you can play on other consoles as well, I mostly used the PS4 as a third party machine if I couldn’t play or review it on the Switch, or if I’d rather play it on the PS4. Anyway, there are so many games I’m going to split this up into two parts. And the first part is going to be all about classic game collections, and remakes of classics and styled games.
Secret Paws: Cozy Apartments (Switch, PC)
Last year I reviewed a game called Secret Paws: Cozy Offices. It was a hidden picture hide and seek Easter Egg hunt kind of game. You looked for little squarish cats hidden in office settings like cubicles, desks, meeting rooms, and more! And now you can look for those cats in residential settings like bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms with Secret Paws: Cozy Apartments. It’s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
