    yep, most platform games will do for kids

    if you can still find ps1 games there were some learning seaseme street games.

    you also have the dance dance games like britany spears dance thing. get a dance mat and wayhay the kids love it.
    come night time, have a couple drinks with the other half, get abit naked and make your own moves on the dance mat.

    alledgedly. ;)

    I'll keep that in mind ,thanks ;D
  • Today only (Dec 2nd) PC World had an offer on any PS2 games. With a voucher from various newspapers they would knock £15 off . Had bought Need for speed underground 2 from Wollies for £33 but bought from PC World tonight for £25. Guess that's now going back ;D
    They may well do this offer again in the run up to Christmas. HTH
    Now thanks to Tommix & Queen Bear, now Lady Westy of Woodpecker :)
  • I've just bought Sega Superstars for the PS2 with a free eye toy here:

    http://shop.game.net/

    When bought with anything else it is £19.99 instead of £35 - i bought some batteries for £1.50 so not a bad saving.

    you get 12 mini-games which are pretty good fun (I'm 25!) and it is a bit different... if they don't like it, I'm sure you'll be able to sell it on for the amount you paid.

    Don't know how old your kids are, but you can get Bob the Builder/Tweenies game on PSOne - which I think is only £7.99 in Toys R Us.
    Only 5% of those who can give blood, actually do!

    I agree, Toys r us have got Disney games like Tarzan for PS2 at a bargin £4.99!

    If you are stuck for more kid games, basically think of a disney film or cartoon character and more times than not there is a game out there!!  Also as the otehrs have said most pltforms games are child friendly and based at the younger market.

    Play.com is one of the best (good prices, free delivery - I still use them a lot), but more websites are competing and dropping their prices.

    If you go to http://www.gamestation.co.uk/ and find the game you are after it will list about 8 websites and how much they sell that game for.

    You will save yourself a lot of money espcially if you are thinking of buying a few games!

    Also look out for places doing special offers.

    Like this one:

    Out Now: Scaler tells the story of an unlikely human-turned-lizard super hero as he embarks on his first adventure to stop his evil neighbour's plot to take over the world by stealing lizards and creating his own reptile army.

    RRP: £39.99 - PRICE: £19.99.

    Let us know how you get on.
