Default Which game will be the kids fav?

I just bought a 360 for my kids (ages 7 & 4) for Christmas. Don't know much about the system or the games and the saleslady recommended the following games:

Star Wars Lego II
Disney Cars
Viva Pinata

I bought those three but I'm curious if those were decent choices.

Any thoughts???

It seems you have been recomended well, As all are marketed as "Family" Games.Sonic and Open Season are also some good 360 games for Children. Did you happen to buy the premium system that is backward compatable if so? There are lots of family titles for it also, examples are Blinx and Antz, which are a lot cheaper than the 360 games but lack the graphics a tad.

Hope this helps,
Madden 07 Fan

Happy to read I made some good choices. Thanks and yes, I did buy the premium system. I'll have to look at the backwards compatible list to see what's out there. I'll also check out Sonic & Open Season. Thanks again.

Gears of War would have probably been a better choice.

I sense sarcasm....
Anyways, I'd always recommend sports games for kids too. It's good clean fun, and it helps them learn the sports.

Probably Viva Piñata or Disney's Cars.

I hate kids. They are so annoying. So stupid. I once heard of a guy who played Counter Strike and a kid who got mad at him insulted him by singing him the Pokemon theme song replacing key words with bad words like the F word.

And then this one kid who hadn't gone through puberty tried cussing, so this one dude made fun of him. All of the kid's insults had bad words. Then the guy said," Can you insult us without cussing?" The kid says "Yes." The guy says "Do it." Then after a short pause, the kid goes like,".... you're stupid."

Then some kids in Call of Duty 2(I'm looking at you ledzep 32 and Kole) will spin around because they think it is funny.

Kids ruin Xbox Live. Hence I hate MS for trying to get more kids to come onto Live. It's not all about the money! It's about keeping kids off of fun mature stuff shetbags!

Thanks JB2 & Flanker 5. Mucho appreciated

Sryus15,
You will not have to worry about seeing my 7-year-old anywhere near Live for several years because of such things like your listed complaints. Thanks!
