Wizard 101
I will be rating Wizard 101 off a scale from 1-10 in each of the areas below and then explaining why I chose this number.
Fun: 9, Wizard 101 is definitely a fun game, but there are some restricted places only for paying members. There are also some not fun games in the Fair area. Many times the arrow for quests leads you in the wrong direction. In Wizard 101 you can battle all sorts of monsters. It's definitely not the place for the easily-scared.
Customization: 10, Wizard 101's customization is awesome! In the beggining you take a quiz to see what school your "wizard" is in. There are 7 schools that are possible for your "wizard". You get to customize your character and pick from dozens of stellar hairstyle along with the color of your cloak. Once you get into the game you can collect money from quests and use this to buy new outfits and die your outfits and shoes different colors. Also during quests you can recieve new outfits, cloaks, and shoes that can add to your collection. You get to choose your name out of a list of really cool adjectives.
Safety: 6, In Wizard 101 there are 2 types of chat. There's one where you pick off a list of words and another where you type in words out of a supposed dictionary. the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any dictionary there. Anyone who plays can find ways to slip around the chat laws by using different things to represent something else. You can't type numbers just in case you offer up a phone number, but you can type numbers in a word form. The other type of chat is reasonably safe. If you pick that kind of chat for your child he/she can only see what people with the same kind of chat have said and not what people have typed in. I have not heard that it is possible to get a virus from Wizard101 so feel free to download it on to your computer but keep in mind that the more applications you have the more your computer will slow down.
Friends: 9, In Wizard101 you can battle with friends and form groups to battle in. You of course have to accept the friends before they go on your friend's list and it's better to tell your kids not to accept anyone on their friend's list that they don't know. That way it's safer for them.
Wizard 101 is a reasonably well made out site but the graphics could be better and some of the things above need some work as well. Find out more about Wizard 101 at:

Chile Earthquake
After the Earthquake in Haiti we weren't expecting any more disaster, but now there has been an earthquake in Chile too. Apparently it has caused some sort of tsunami wave. Search: "Earthquake in Chile" to learn more.
