DS1 (8) has finally been allowed by his luddite parents to have a Gameboy He's been saving up since Christmas, including all his birthday money!

Anyway this was 3 weeks ago. He has a Star Wars game, which he seems to be well on the way towards mastering.

What are your top recommendations for new games for Christmas?
Obviously nothing too focused on "shoot em up"!
Someone mentioned RCT ...? What's that?

LOL Roisin - I fought tooth and nail against buying one but same story!
My ds (nearly 8) recommends Mario Dojo (sp?) where Mario and his pet defeat evil monkeys and gorillas to win back their palace. Also Mario Racing. He had a few Pokeman games (Ruby Red, Leaf green) which kept him occupied for many months but has now tired of them. Be prepared for 6 months' obsessive playing before it calms down! (I had to hide it at nights as he wouldn't go to sleep :}

Top two from each of my sons, who are a couple of years younger but say that 8 year olds would like them too.

Son the first I asked:

  1. Star Wars trilogy
  2. The legend of Zelda

Son the second I asked:

  1. Beyblade V force
  2. James Pond codename Robocod?!

oops- he has the Star Wars one already. Zelda seems very good, I must say.

Thanks - I'll look out for these.
