Just thought I would link to this site:

http://www.gamerdad.com/

for those gamers here who have kids. Its not always easy to choose a suitable game, you really dont want to be play testing Pokemon when you can be playing COD4 but as Gamers your not anally retentive parents banning your youngster from the technology of today out of misinformed fear.
Perhaps this site is useful for you.

Very Happy

My eldest who is 7, is playing 2142 and UT2004, only offline for the moment though. He also like Lego Star Wars and Pro Evo.

You sure he hasn't been playing COD4 as you seemed to have improved recently Razz

My lil un had a go not long after our return from Bournemouth and If I remember she did manage a kill or two vs some Res members.

Worst bit was apolagising for the foul language, but lads she promised me she won't do it again.

Ds is getting a PC in his bedroom for his Birthday next year when he'll be 7. I wont let him play online for a while but I'll definately be installing BF2 on there for him to play singleplayer. When he's getting good (which shouldn't take long as his hand to eye co-ordination is fantastic) we will get him on the wireless connection and let him lose on the |2es server. Keep an eye out for SatansSpawn on the |2es server late next year Wink

We usually fight over the Wii Tennis on Sunday afternoons. That'll soon stop as I have bought her High School Musical sing along thing for the Wii, the game comes with a mic. Luckily she's blessed with an angelic singing voice, much like myself Laughing

yeah, as if.

I can see it now, "come on Dad your go"........."nah ya alright love, I'll give this one a miss" Laughing
