Looking for a game

Post by Bubba Grizz »

that I can play with my kids. To give you an idea of what I am looking for, I was hoping to find a game like Midi-Maze. While searching for that I found Faceball 3000. That game looks tame enough to play with my kids but I am not sure if that is still available. So what I am looking for is something like Faceball 3000, not as difficult or graphic as something like Quake, and a FPS that we can play together or against each other. My kids are 10 and 6. Anyone have anything?

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare sounds right up your ally. It's not out yet, but it's worth looking into.

My family plays Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed 2, Rayman Origins/Legends, New Super Mario Brothers Wii & WiiU, and Playstation AllStars all the time. My girls are ages 4 and 6 (my 4yrd old turns 5 on Saturday!). Of course, the girls play MineCraft and also run one of my alts all around in WoW every once in awhile too.

We always keep our eyes open for good co-op games but it needs to support all 4 of us at once and have little to no downtime. We're considering letting them play Diablo 3 with us on the 360, but the inventory management might be the deal breaker there.

EDIT: Board games are where our family time really comes into play. Much more so than video games. We're avid board gamers and our kids are both finally getting to the point where they can grasp more complex rules.

Kirby Return to Dreamland, Sonic Generations is also great. Ryman Origins is excellent and can be got for cheap.

There's always stuff like Castle Crashers or Splosion Man on the 360.

Erf, sorry about that. I knew I forgot something. We'd need to play this on the PC. My computers out number our game systems about 6 to 1. We've done board games but my son is not a very good loser and an even worse winner. We're working on that.
