xbox game suggestions for young kids

    Anyone know of a few suitable games for a 7 yr old and a 3 yr old (both boys)?

    My eldest likes games such as "Kung Fu Panda" etc and my youngest likes to push the buttons on a controller with no batteries but I'd like to get him a simple game to pass the time this winter.
    I've seen that there is a Sesamee Street Kinect game on the way but he's not into that so if anyone has any suggestions that'd be great.

    Thanks.

    This is worth a punt, especially at that price.

    The Lego games are an obvious choice too. I hear Kameo is another, but can't say anything about it personally.

    Just looked it up in case there were ones that I couldn't think of right off the bat, and found this link. Hope it helps.

    Don't know about the 3yr old but I'd imagine the Lego games ie Batman & Indiana Jones would be OK for the 7yr old.

    Rock Band / Guitar hero , the Lego one has a super easy setting for the 3yr old so all he has to do his hit any button in time with the song.

    Teaches had eye co-ordination too..... at least that's what I tell myself :rolleyes:

    +1 for Viva Pinata.

    I think the Toy Story 3 got some decent reviews too. Then there's Lego Harry Potter as well as the other Lego games mentioned.

    Kameo is pretty good, probably too hard for a 3 yr old though.
    Viva Pinata games are great, but again, maybe too complex for a 3 yr old, but the second one has a type of co-op play.

    My two boys also love Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing. Its like Mario Kart but obviouly with Sega characters and the controls are pretty easy.

    What about Kinect.

    Plenty of games for 3+ on it.

    Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Sonic Free Riders.

    Even cheaper arcade games: Hole in the Wall, Fruit Ninja Kinect

    Sesame STreet before christmas.

    Then loads of stuff for the 7 year old.
