Dear Parent, ® , with the introduction of our V.FLASH™, offers kids a cool, fun, and educational alternative to the world of violent video games. We know that kids want to play popular video games, and we also understand parents’ reluctance to put potentially inappropriate content into their hands. As kids get older they want to be able to play independently, and make choices for themselves, and parents want to feel comfortable that these choices are going to be healthy and beneficial to their kids.
INTRODUCTION Shrek the Third™ – The Search for Arthur When Shrek® married Fiona becoming the next King and Queen of Far Far Away wasn’t part of the plan. Recruiting Donkey and Puss In Boots for a new quest, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne. Back in Far Far Away, Fiona’s jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. Fiona must stop him to ensure there will be a kingdom left to rule.
