What no Kung Fu Panda? My son loves that movie! (Don't know about the game...)

I'm glad that Carcassonne and Age of Booty (XBLA games) are there along with biggies like Rock Band and Banjo.

My kids and I really enjoy playing together, though my 5 year old hates losing any competitive games. Lego games are always good for co-op fun though.

I think more parents should try playing video games with their kids...it might lose some of the stigma it sometimes has with adults. That's where the Wii seems to be helping: even though it has few good games, it does give non-gaming parents a different view of gaming to GTA IV and the other games that get crucified in the media....

I think this is a great idea. It is all fine having the parents educated on what games are being released but having the parent sitting with the kids and sharing in what they find fun is just as good.

mm.... MS are really trying to go for the 'family' demographic lately. There are quite a few good games amongst that list.

good Idea, a lot of the time if its not a gameboy game, parents dont have much clue except for the rating on the box.
