They grew up with Atari and the first generation of Nintendo, and most moms and dads still play video games, says a survey of 1,014 people by video game manufacturer Activision Inc.:
*Nearly three in five parents play video games. Among them, half spend the time playing with their children, while 49 percent play their children's games by themselves.
*Almost three-fourths said they feel comfortable that playing video games is part of the family's life together.
*52 percent of parents research the games using game reviews or previews and gaming Web sites, while 56 percent rely mostly on the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB, rating system.
*Eighty-four percent of parents are familiar with the ESRB rating system, and four out of five pay close attention to games' ratings.
