Games for a 6 year old.

Post by DeathStrike »

Hi Guys,

So my my uncle's child was playing Rachet and Clank on my PS2 the other day and now my uncle has asked me if i would be able to get child friendly games that would work on his old PC.

I am not 100% sure of the specs but i believe its in the P4 range. I will get back to you guys when i get a chance to find the full specs on the machine.

Do you know off hand of any games like Rachet and Clank that i could get for a 6 year old?

Thanks,

The problem isnt the lack of child friendly games but rather the platform. Mario games in general always child friendly. Sonic games use to be until the 3d incarnations ...but if it can work get Sonic generations for the pc :P Crash and Spyro use to be child friendly but evolved into strange stuff.

Ofcoarse if he wants the 6 year old to turn out like us then you could always sneak in a Clive Bakers Undying into the mix and an aliens vs predator game.

Lol, its called redirection. Take away the pc, give them a gun and put them in a YL march and see what happens :P

Alternatively get plants and zombies on pc. It is a long shot but I know someone how got their kids a Wii and all they ended up playing was PvZ on pc. Could always introduce them to Warcraft 1, 2, 3, C&C and StarCraft. But a warning on that though. When I was playing C&C I spent an entire night on a mission.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
