\"family<\/p>\n

The big annual video game conference, E3<\/a>, took place in Los Angeles this week. \u00a0It’s always a fun…and crazy show with characters that seem to supernaturally escape the games they were in and walk the hallways with the rest of us!<\/p>\n

The E3 conference is essential for big video game companies to highlight their upcoming games. \u00a0Some release their games in the Summer, but most new games will launch in the Fall and Winter…right before the big Christmas crunch hits.<\/p>\n

As a service to our readers, we always like to scour E3 to find the best family video games, so when Christmas time comes, you will already know whether a game is worthwhile getting for your children or not. \u00a0Of course, a majority of the new games coming out are geared for teens and adults. \u00a0But we still were able to find at least 20 family video games that are coming out. \u00a0Today, we will focus on our top 5 picks.<\/p>\n

Just Dance always makes fun family video games, and <\/span>Just Dance 2015 <\/a>\u00a0is no exception. \u00a0Not only does this new version have the fabulous “Happy” song by Pharrell Williams in it (who doesn’t just LOVE this song?), but it includes some new innovations not seen in other video games. \u00a0Believe it or not, there’s an app for this game, called Just Dance Now<\/a>, available for the Android, iPhone, or iPod Touch. \u00a0Now you can play the game anywhere – at a friend’s house, outside…even in the doctor’s office??? \u00a0After downloading the app, visit JustDanceNow.com<\/a> on any Internet connected screen and your phone will autmatically sync and you can begin dancing!<\/span><\/p>\n
