Vtech V.Smile Cyber Pocket - Video Games That Actually Teach

All hail the power of video games, particularly in my house where video games are a great distraction for my husband's stressful job. Therefore, it's not surprising that my daughter is pretty versed on most of the popular gaming products. Truth be told, most of the games that are geared for kids of her same age are fairly educational, however, it's always a tough decision for me to just tell her to "go play video games." I'd rather there actually a specific takeaway from the game itself.

Thus would be the case with the Vtech Cyber Pocket, a handheld gaming device aimed at kids 5 +. Admittedly, I'm not familiar with Vtech's products in general, mainly because my daughter is just under the age where I think the educational games that are offered appeal to. She's not yet reading or doing math, and so for her, those games look cool, but can be difficult to play on her own.

That was definitely the case with the Cyber Pocket -- having nothing to do with the game itself, but rather that she had not yet figured out how to use a "joystick" and the pen that most kids are familiar with thanks to the plethora of other handheld gaming systems out there. For example, she's used to using the stylus on the screen itself, so that was an adjustment for her.

The game itself was entertaining, and she certainly enjoyed it, although either myself or my husband had to play it with her. It's definitely geared towards the video gaming set, which is fantastic because kids can easily get sucked into playing mindless games and this one really does address all types of educational goals without kids even being totally cognizant of the fact that they are learning.

From the other reviews that I've read of the system, parents and kids both find it fascinating and enjoyable, and while my daughter got a bit frustrated with it (remember, she's on the young side), I can see her loving it over the next few months when we both have the patience to play it along with her.

It's a definitely must-add to your holiday shopping list, particularly if the grandparents are searching for "THE GIFT." Let them be the hero and snag this for them. Just know that if you've got more than one over 5, chances are they're going to fight over it!
