What a great list! Not only are they all family appropriate, but they more than work when you want to go multiplayer.

So basically, if your a father you should just go buy a Wii?

This list kinda fails in the fact that it misses out alot more Multiplayer games that are better than those listed.

  Even if they are better multiplayer games, it doesn't mean they'd make the cut for a family.

As I expected, they're almost all Nintendo Games.

Nintendo's games are just for everyone, really. Anyone can play them. personally I find any type of racing game a good family game.

I think they missed Grand Theft Auto. Seriously, It's now proof that Nintendo is a family console and not an adult. Where's Guitar Hero? Replaced by the copy Rockband?

  Seriously? I think your logic is reversed...and besides, last I checked, before Rock Band came out, Guitar Hero was only 2 player...yeah, great family game.

Real Monopoly > Video Game Monopoly

  Definitely, I much prefer sitting around the board game and handling the delicious cash (even if it is paper and fake) and slamming hotels down and declaring myself awesome. The video game takes away a lot of the zazz.

  Yeah, but in real Monopoly only 4 people get to use the sides to store their money. That sucks.

Smash Bros Series...I cant really see my mom playing Brawl.
only 4/7 of the list is nintendo. But thats a good thing.

Nintendo is actually mixed, with all the newer hardcore games coming out, specifically made by Shigeru Miyamoto, Maker of the Super Mario and Legend of Zelda series
