Video games. Once thought to be the past time of slackers and unmotivated adults, video games have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. The advent of consoles like PS4 and Xbox 360 have elevated games to an entirely different, immersive level. They’ve also allowed the experience of games to become a social one, and it’s a great way to spend a quiet afternoon with your kids. Take a look with Payflex at our top 7 picks for the best video games to play with your kids.
