    Default Are there any kids games out there

    My 8 year old daughter loves her PC games, but the selection is so limited. The last one I managed to get her was toy story, which she loved, but has now played to death.... Are there any games out there that are appropriate for young girls...

    And I really don't mean like angry birds or such,

    It seems all I see are really old Disney games, which are great cause they are cheap, but don't play we'll on anything newer than windows xp

    Check out BT Games, I'm sure they'll have a selection for her.

    Racing games are always good but stay away from MX games. Codemasters have a pretty cool looking F1 legends carting type game, big heads small cars and Vettels ugly face.
    BT games also have plenty of mystery hidden object games that could also keep her busy I guess. They also have the sims which I played when is was young.
    I also remember seeing Skylanders for PC somewhere but I'm not sure.

    I can't think of much off hand without being instore to look through but IMO stick to racing, the sims, skylanders and ask a salesman to earn his bread for the day.

    Nice seeing parents taking care to find games age appropriate for their kids.
    Unless your like a mother I saw at BT games who said pokemon is not age appropriate for an 8 year old but CoD black ops is. In which case I totally recommend spec ops the line and dead space and hope she doesn't do target practice with her class mates.

    She might be too young, but you simply have to get her the old classics: theme park, theme hospital, indiana jones, etc!
    Zoo Tycoon.
    SimTown.
    Sims (until she asks you what it means to 'Woo')

    The only game I ever played before AoE was Abe's Oddysee and that must've been in my pre-teen years.
    (I received it as a present - a copied CD nogal!)

    What about PopCapGames? Those are fun - not only for children!

    Chess? To stimulate that grey matter!

    Depending on the age Plants vs zombies is pretty cool

    Plants vs zombies is my favourite especially when the lawnmowers go over them

    what about Brave?

    I think all the games based on Pixar mopvies etc. would be a safe bet. Things like Cars, Bolt, G-Force.....could actually build quite a collection!
