Thumb Bandits Kidz was set up to enable younger gamers (pre-teens) to have their own gaming site. A site where their parents can rest assurred they're not going to accidentally come across something nasty. Although Thumb Bandits.com is a friendly and welcoming site, some of the content is unsuitable for the pre-teen readership. Due to our inclusivity clause, we wanted to ensure that every audience possible has something of interest to them under the Thumb Bandits moniker, so Thumb Bandits Kidz was born.

All of the content at Thumb Bandits Kidz is written with the pre-teen audience in mind. Reviews are shorter and written in a more colloquial fashion (ie no big technical words, easier to understand). Articles too will be written with the pre-teen audience in mind and we'll also be welcoming articles from young writers who wish to get their ideas published (so if you know a young writer, into gaming, get them to contact us with their ideas). As with the sister site, Thumb Bandits Kidz welcomes readership participation as we believe this makes for a more well rounded site, offering varying opinions.
