Help your kids get some exercise - crack down on their Xbox 360 play time
Out to download today, Family Timer allows you to control how much time your children spend playing on the Xbox 360
By NickO on 04 December 2007
You can manage what your kids do in Windows Vista with the built-in Parental Controls, and now you can do the same on the Xbox 360 with the Family Timer; a new feature available to Xbox LIVE people.
According to Microsoft, 75 per cent of parents in Europe and 62 per cent of parents in the US want to keep an eye on how much their children play computer games, and to help them better manage this playing time.
Now you have an extra voice of authority to say: "gaming over - it's time to do your homework!"
