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.

Catagrams (Mobile)
Posted on February 17th, 2025 by
It’s been a long time since I reviewed a mobile game! But here’s a free to play one where you solve word challenges and it’s like a cross between Scrabble and a crossword puzzle. You get points for solving them, and when you get enough, you can unlock a part of an outfit for a cartoon cat. Catagrams is available on mobile devices but reviewed on iPad here.
Let’s Get Dangerous!

Late last year, I was a guest star on a cartoon podcast that a few of my friends do. The topic was Darkwing Duck, an early 90s cartoon on The Disney Afternoon. I was really glad to be on it, and I’m very thankful they invited me. So please click on the link below and listen to it if you can. Thanks!

Help a mechanic escape a obstacle-laden, robot-filled scrap yard in Mechanita. It’s a 2D platform game where the levels are hardly bigger than one screen, and you must use the robots’ abilities to help you pass the levels. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Mini Market Design (Switch)
Posted on February 10th, 2025 by
Do you like imaging designing your own market displays? Or maybe you like creating shops in spinoff games like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer or Happy Home Paradise. Well now you can do that in Mini Market Design on Nintendo Switch. It actually plays just like a game I reviewed a couple of weeks ago called My Cozy Room.

Popotinho’s Adventures (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S)
Posted on February 3rd, 2025 by
I don’t know if Popotinho is supposed to be an egg or a marshmallow or what, but one day while on an outing with his parents, Popotinho was misbehaving more than usual so his parents decided to punish him by leaving him alone and letting him find his way home. Well dang, that was kind of hardcore for such a simple game. But yeah, that’s what the in-game story says! Anyway, guide your little egg dude through 50 stages of basic 2D platforming in Popotinho’s Adventures. It’s available on all current consoles but reviewed on PS4 here.
Sonic the Hedgehog Valentines

First we had Mario valentines, then Animal Crossing, and now Sonic the Hedgehog! I found some of those elementary school style valentines at the store with Sonic, so I decided to get them and check them out.
Runny Bunny (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 29th, 2025 by
Ok the title of this game is a bit misleading because this rabbit doesn’t run, nor does he have the runs. It’s more like he spin dashes. This rabbit zips around so fast, he almost looks like he teleports. He’d make Sonic the Hedgehog jealous. In Runny Bunny, you move a super quick rabbit around a maze getting all the dots and carrots while avoiding obstacles to reach an exit. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
