Been thinking ahead to Christmas and we've got a family coming to visit for one afternoon. Their kids are lovely kids so I know I can trust them anywhere near any of my stuff so I thought I'd see what games might be suitable for them to try out.
I'll only be able to have demoes for the most part but I'm a bit crap at knowing what to expect for various age ranges.

They're 7 and 4, they're both obsessed with Doctor Who, Spiderman, Cars and general cute things.

I'm guessing Cars would be fine, but not sure what else.

Oooh that might be a good idea. Forgot about it. Think it's got fairly simple controls :)

Star Wars Lego 2 is awesome. And if the kids are not into star wars they bloody well should be; it's why this country is going down the pan, lack of a proper education! ;)

I think viva pinata might be a bit complicated for them as they've never played any games before. :)

And I hate Lego Star Wars 2 so that's out :p

Tbh I might just get an old console out like the PS1 and stick Crash Bandicoot on or Spyro.

Ignoring the slur on the jedi,

Fiver for a used one...

If it didn't have jedi in it, it'd be a very average game ;) Just got lucky with the branding :p

Do you know if Spiderman 2's any good? Half tempted. Just noticed it's got a 12+ rating though so bit wary about that as they're only young :/

Not many games on the xbox for that age, Caitlin played Lego star wars and didn't really get on with any others.

Jen, how about games like Open Season, Surf's Up and the like? Kids should love them.

I forgot about Open Season and Surf's up :o You'd think my gamercard would remind me ;D
Would have thought they'd like the cute characters.

I'm not at all trying to ensure I have a future games fanatic in the family honest :D
