Forums - Gaming - Games that are good for kids on X360/PS3 for kids

Somebody asked me if they should get a X360 or PS3 for kids games.  Automatically i said X360 but my sister cut in saying PS3.  This can not possibly be right.  I asked her to name some and she couldnt so guys help me out with this. Name some games that are good for kids and Ill post them in a list below. They are 5 and 6 by the way.

2. Banjo Nuts & Bolts
3. Kinect Sports 1&2
4. Kinect Joy Ride
5. Sesame Street
6.  Kameo
7. Grabbed by the Ghoulies
8. Kinectimals
9. Kinect Disneyland Adventures
10. Just Dance 3

I also want a 3rd party list just to show him that PS3/X360 has plenty of kids games.

Because most move games are not aimed for kids. Even the move sports games are not aimed for kids




       

Can we trade you for your sister? >l

Third party, I would include Joe Danger, it's a fun little game. Ben 10 Galactic Racing? The Rayman games, maybe.

PS3, what about Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch? Old enough for that? Critter Crunch? And, uh, Killzone 2.

which age? and with or withou multiplat games?

and why do you have just dance 3 but not just dance kids or just dance disney party in your list? because of the age of the kids you mean?



Why not a Wii or a Wii U? Makes a whole lot more sense. But if they insist on one of those, what are the ages of the kids? Big difference between 5 and 10 ya know?

In general though...

X-Box 360/PS3

Sonic Generations

Sonic Classics Collection

Sonic All Star Racing/Transformed

Street Fighter

Marvel vs Capcom 3

Spiderman Shattered Dimensions (older kids)

WWE _____ if they're wrestling fans

X-Box 360

Naruto Path of a Ninja

You might question the inclusion of fighting games, but I think that they work great for kids. If a kid is a bit too young for something like Ratchet, they'll wander around for a little while and give up. If a kid is too young to master 100 hit combos in MvC 3 they'll still have fun hitting buttons until something cool happens.

Seriously though, just get them a Wii, or if they already have it and are bored with it, either invest in new games, or a Wii U. Recommending a 360 for kids is like recommending the Wii to a 30 year old who loves military shooters.
