Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Good games for a five year old?

Well today my pastor told me he is buying his five year old an X-Box 360. He said however he did not know what were the good games for his kid. He came to me because I'm a hardcore gamer and everyone knows that. But I was stumped all I could think of were Kinect games. All the games I play are far too mature for a pastors kid.

So I was wondering I know their are parents on here. I told him I'd look into it. What are the best five year old friendly games on the 360? I could name dozens on Wii but can't think of any big ones on the 360, so please give some suggestions!

Tell him to get a Kinect bundle if he can find one.



Dont get him kinect, get him some real games like Banjo Kazooie

He'll like all the lego games, star wars, indiana jones, batman, harry potter. Good to play together.

Probably a bit young still for viva pinata, not enough action.

He can mess around in Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts.



If all you can think of is Wii games, recommend him a Wii and those games.

Why is he buying his 5 year old a 360? Unless he plans on using it, I'd tell him to get a Wii instead. Plenty of games for his kid and plenty of family games too.



The 360 has plenty of games for kids, contrary to popular belief. Start off with some Lego games, Banjo Kazooie and a Kingdom of Keflings off of XBLA.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Get him Call of Duty Modern Warfare1.

Its cheap now and he's gonna have a blast. I've seen many kids playing it online.

 

LOL, now seriously:

Buy black ops.



When I was 3, I played Mortal Kombat. He should try buying that for his child.

I agree with this man. There is no reason to coddle the kid. Get him Ninja gaiden 2, tales of vesperia and lost odyssey. His parents won't notice as parents are mostly oblivious to what their kids do, and you'll give him a great start in the gaming world.
