haha none of mine are in school yet so i havent had to deal with that part yet but i agree with you 100% about movies.

the last 30 times my wife and i have tried to sit down and watch a movie after the kids went down, i have passed out within the first 10 minutes.

my oldest is going to be 4 this summer and she is starting to get interested in playing games with me. we have been playing a bit of Car Game (Fast RMX) lately and she really likes to watch me play Snake Game (Snake Pass).

My kids started at age 3 with wii sports resort. Even at 2 he already enjoyed crashing the plane for a few giggles. Mario was/is ofcourse a big hit, the co-op versions came just in time. MK8 and Lego city undercover were huge hits, which reminds me, it's out on ps4 and my youngest has just wiped out all savegames again on the WiiU (choosing new game trying to find his savegame ugh, every time). They'll very likely enjoy playing it together. They play lego worlds in splitscreen on my laptop yet that runs like a dog. Actually Knack was good to play with a kid as you can keep the game going as the parent, keep him safe at all costs.

And then there's the monster called Minecraft. They were already interested, with the ps4 release we started playing together and have made one giant world together with all kinds of different environments. I hope it will carry over and we can revisit it when they grow up. I wonder what they'll think of it later. (Dumb kiddie game perhaps lol)

Atm it's Zelda and 1-2 switch with their friends. Kids actually like that!
