Family friendly: LittleBigPlanet
Overall: LittleBigPlanet

I love LBP. I haven’t had so much fun with a game for a long time. The level creator and constant updates also means that the game lasts a long time.

And the “HOLY F***ING S**T I JUST SHOT A GUY’S HEAD OFF!!!!!” award goes to:

Fallout 3!

Shooting people’s heads off has never been so entertaining!

Maybe Umm179 could join me now to talk about something completely irrelevant!

I’ve got croup and flu at the same time! It isn’t very nice. At least I can stay at home and decapitate people with bullets while I’m coughing all the time.

It was a joke based on his ‘GTA4 brotha’ comment … he’s been around for a while and hope he took it is the correct spirit.

As for teens, there are several that hang out here and at the discussion forums, and I think that is a great thing!

Good thing you clarified … but sadly 14 seemed reasonable.

Uh, I meant I am 24 above. I have two kids. So 14 was a mistype.

My kids are noodling with Leapster2= thanks GD and I
m thinking about getting a Didj for Mary. She’s 8. Can I just say that I love whattheyplay and I’m glad GamerDad hoooked up with them.

Actually… he should run the whole thing. He knows games, he knows kids, he knows moms…. what was WTP thinking when they hired anyone BUT him? Or for all I know he turned it down. Whatever, I think GD is the best spokesman.

I agree, Rich – but personally I had low expectations for CoD:WaW, so even being a decent shooter far exceeded them.

My 2 cents……

For the PC:
I wasn’t thrilled with Call of Duty: World at War, it is just CoD4 with a different skin. Fallout 3 as really really good, but could have been better. I really enjoyed it, but was left a little wanting at the end. We will see how it is when I go back and play it again as a “bad” player. Sacred 2 is something I am currently playing and I have to admit, it is a ton of fun. Fast easy Diablo 2-style gameplay, some good writing, snarky comments the characters make, and it is just a lot of fun.

For the Wii, Wii Fit is an excellent title, I just need to find more time to play it. And Lego Indiana Jones is fun (for the DS too). I’m gonna have to pick up Mario Cart and Boom Blox to play with Dylan.
