Unfortunately the Xbox isnt very kiddy friendly. My kids ( 7 and 4) love Rayman 3 though, so you could give that a go.

On the Playstation (not sure if will also be available on xbox) there's Ty the Tasmanian Devil, which kids would love. When you rescue an animal from a cage, some ho-down music plays and they do a little dance that makes me laugh like an idiot. And on the Gamecube we played something like Eggy Egg McMagic Eggy (ok, that's a crap made up name, but it was something to do with eggs) which was very kiddie.

Which was embarrassing, seeing as I'd rented it to play with a group of mates, and we sat around while this little boy dressed up in a super hero chicken outfit yelling COCKLE DOO! every few seconds.

I have no idea if either of these games cross over, and whether or not I'm being helpful or just random.

Was that Billy Hatcher by any chance?

I don't know. Are evil crows taking over the world, and you have to roll eggs about until they get fat and turn into weird things?

X box titles for kids?

Halo is a teaching experience towards the evilnes of aliens.

Wreckless is a good driving instructor. Realistic rules on how to drive through the city.

Honest!

Also i'm not sure if Grand theft auto is on Xbox, but it would be the best possible teacher for the kids values on life.

Now you're really showing your age :p

Got the crystal edition Xbox together with Splinter Cell and Halo for #1 son, and Carmen Sandiego and Simpsons Hit n Run for #2.

They love Dad's bonus month treats :cheers:

Chucky Egg on the BBC micro... pure class. One of a couple that simply inverted the screen to add extra levels... a Jup Gold Star (tm) to anyone who can name another ;)

Probably some silly game like Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Attic Attack, Jetpac, Pssst.. can't remember but I reckon a lot of those older games used such cunning ploys to make the games seem larger :)

I liked Imogen (i think that was its name). You could shape shift between a wizard and a monkey and possibly one other.

the original amiga version of spiderman did that, lol, hmm, cannon fodder was just the same stuff over and over again, but yet overly adictive :D,

as for kids stuff on xbox, there is a few platform games i think, like crash bandicoot, and finding nemo etc, id guess they was kiddie games ^^

i remember the original of this and thats kinda scary to think about :|

Dunno, Kung Fu Chaos may be ok for kids, it's zany and wacky and jolly good fun.

Crash Nitro Kart can occasionally be a giggle, a simple racer Mario Kart stylee.
