Gift for Nephew

My sister is giving her 6 year old son an Xbox for Christmas. Can someone recommend a game I can buy him for Christmas?

Is he a big fan of merciless violence against alien hordes? Because Halo 2 gets good reviews. :)

Seriously, I'd go with either a sports game or other children's themed game. Big Jon's suggestions were pretty good. And I believe they have a Shrek game for XBox. Going through EBgames.com is another good idea, because if you buy the preplayed versions, you can use a 15% off coupon (CAG15), and there's also a free shipping coupon for new OR used games (I forget that code, but it's at www.cheapassgamer.com).

Grabbed by the ghoulies I think is a kids game, not sure if he is too young for it. but no violence, made by RARE, cartoon graphics. I think that is the one I would recommend.

:stupid:
Grabbed by the Ghoulies is about a brother and a sister in an adventure type game. Got good reviews for a kids game.

The reason I said he might be too young is I am not sure if there are puzzles and stuff in the game. It should be the perfect game for him, I ended up buying it from the MS company store but never played it. That one is the one off the top of my head that seems like a perfect fit.

Thanks for everyone's help. I think Grabbed by the Ghoulies would be a great fit for him. Also, thanks for the discount codes.

Yall are the best!!

if its not too late, i would tell ur sis to get him the gamecube instead. they offer more child oriented games than ps2 and xbox.

very good point....they carry the entire Mario line. Those are pretty kid friendly!

[exigent_chick]

It is a scary thought but this six year old already has a gamecube and a ps2. Now he wants an xbox since my husband has one. He is a video game addict at a very young age.

As a kid who played Atari at about the same age, let me just say....nothin wrong with that! :)

yeah i got into gamin at about 5-6 yrs old. my little cousins started at 3-4. they grow up quicker nowadays! hehehe

Just remember to check the game ratings. M (Mature) is a definite no-no. T (Teen) is a stretch too. You're mostly looking at E (Everyone) games, and K-A (Kids-to-Adults) if they still have that category.
