Spaff Posted November 27, 2004 5 year old Jack Shipton, the kid who gave his opinion for our BGE review is going to be getting a few ps2 games from 'santa' this xmas, and 'santa' would like some reccomendations... he needs some games where the controls arent too complicated for a 5 year old and nothing to violent bcause 'santa' doesnt approve. He wants GTa but 'santa' says no way currently he has spiderman, blade, BGE, Prince of persia , TMNT, Street fighter II WWE, and wallace & grommit. 'Santa' wants to get him 1 racing game and 2 more games he can play with 'santa'... ok enough 'santa crap - his mum. His favourites were pop and bge.. plus TMNT heh so.... any suggestions boys and girls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted November 27, 2004 Just wondering, why does he want that game? Why does he know about that game? When I was five I barely had the motor coordination to play tetris, let alone anything of GTA's calliber. Get him some LEGOs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted November 27, 2004 Agreed, LEGO. In the end he'll have so much more fun with it than any intricate game could provide [for a 5 year old]. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bc9b Posted November 28, 2004 Go cute furry platformer, Sly 2, and cute furry platformer that blows stuff up, Rachet and Clank. Raceing? Burnout (go 2, screw EA). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryam BaCo Posted November 29, 2004 with the age of 5 i didn't even know what computer-games are (probably because i didn't know anything about the existence of computers till the age of 10) but lego is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePope Posted November 29, 2004 When I was 5 all I cared about was X-Men. Now that I think about it all I care about now is X-Men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted November 29, 2004 I'd suggest FlatOut if the drivers didn't fly out the windshield... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaero Posted November 29, 2004 When I was five I barely had the motor coordination to play tetris, let alone anything of GTA's calliber. Get him some LEGOs. Yes, that. Were it not for LEGOs, I would not be the person I am today. ...heheheh. That makes me chuckle. I don't know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted November 30, 2004 lego all the way for me too He can go play with computers and consoles when he's 8 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaff Posted November 30, 2004 LEGO isn't pluralised STOP IT. "some LEGO" anyways, id suggest katamari but unfortunatley us PAL gamers are raped every single day of our little gaming lives. Katamari Damarcy isnt coming out over here,ther eis no proposed reail date or in fact any news that it will ever be made for pal consoles. Nice eh? We suggested SEGA super stars as an eye toy game as he alreay has the original, i'll get the list of proposed games so we can all tear it to pieces some more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted November 30, 2004 anyways, id suggest katamari [...] Strange that id would suggest Katamari instead of Doom 3. That's shooting yourself in the foot I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted November 30, 2004 LEGO isn't pluralised STOP IT."some LEGO" I'm foreign, motherfucka; I'm allowed to say things like that. I could call the bricks what I did when I was wee, but I doubt "legeechee" or "lego kotskitse"* would mean anything to you. Besides, you hardly have any integrity in matters of grammar yourself. *) that would be phonetically written. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted November 30, 2004 Besides, you hardly have any integrity in matters of grammar yourself. I was going to point that out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted November 30, 2004 But he's right; it's just 'Lego'. What the hell is 'Legos'? Who lied to you when you were little and told you about 'legos'? Let's go to Legos Land and play with some Legos! Does that sound right? No, because it's wrong. It's 'lego land' and 'lego'. There's nothing worse than people calling lego 'legos'. Spaff, in the deepest, darkest corner of PC World there layeth The Dig, Full Throttle, Curse of Monkey Island and Escape from Monkey Island, all in jewel packaging, untouched and unopened for years. The Dig sucks, but he might enjoy the other games. I know it sounds like a bizarre suggestion, but I have very fond memories of playing Monkey Island 1 and 2 when I was little. Sometimes, I replay them. Like some kind of comfort food. Maybe he would like them. I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaero Posted November 30, 2004 The Dig does NOT suck. Oh oh! If not LEGO...s... get him The Neverhood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Posted December 1, 2004 My 3-year-old niece likes Crash Bandicoot. So like Bc9b, I’d suggest some kind of cute furry platformer. I agree with the suggestions Yufster made as well. I loved playing Monkey Island when I was little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrinewind Posted December 1, 2004 I vote for finding a used Sega Genisis for 20 bucks at a gamestop/babbages/etc. and Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - 3. It'll cost you less than any new game AND teach the lad about fighting evil robots! That, my fellow forum-goer, is an indespensible quality in todays workforce.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 1, 2004 Why not get him something educational like... JFK: Reloaded? Oh wait, that's PC only, damn. How about Prince of Persia 2 or something like Tony Hawks or SSX? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
