10 Xbox 360 Games for Kids

Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s second offering in the video console market. Below is a list of games that I would recommend for kids to play with this game console:

Monopoly

This classic game is great way to bring the whole family together. Everyone’s most probably familiar with the mechanics of the game. Players have to amass great amounts of cash and real estate property while trying to put others out of business. The traditional Atlantic City board is still there along with nine other boards that feature a broad range of themes.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

The famous duo is featured in this truly innovative game that will test any child’s creative thinking and logical skills. Players need to solve puzzles and build vehicles using simple tools as they go on an adventure across six worlds. Missions require players to be creative, making it really fun and challenging.

You’re in the Movies

This is a perfect game to bring your kids out of their inhibitions. The game features a Vision Camera where players will do pretty crazy and wild moves like dancing, shaking or jumping. Scores are given for each player but it is clearly not very competitive. Crazy moves that players did in the mini games will then be compiled to make an amusing movie. Great for anyone in your family who plans to be a movie star!

Viva Pinata

A highly addictive game with very colorful visuals that your kids will surely love. Players will be required to harness their skills in “gardening” because in Pinata Island those colorful papier mache party items are not constructed out of paper but are either captured or grown.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance II: Fusion

Kids will love this power-packed game as they can choose to be any one of their favorite Marvel superheroes. The latest game that features the Marvel Comics heroes is called Fusion because two players can play cooperatively and combine their powers to fight the bad guys. This will definitely be fun and challenging for your kids, especially your boys who are hero-wannabes.

Kung Fu Panda

I loved Kung Fu Panda the movie and so did millions of kids. So I am sure that this video game, featuring our lovable Po, will bring lots of fun for your kids. Players have to tackle thirteen levels which are all based on the scenes from the movie. They have to master kung fu skills to defeat Tai Lung, Po’s enemy. This is a game that your kids will really enjoy.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

This game will transport your kids into the wilds of Africa as they pretend to be Marty or any one of the funny and cute characters of the Madagascar movie series. Players are required to tackle twelve levels that are loaded with fun, action and excitement.

Pirates!

Pirates! is a fun and exciting game that will give your kids lots of tasks to do which they can tackle in a variety of creative ways. They will surely think that this is better than playing with toy ships in the bath tub. In very simple and easy ways, they can control their character while they sail over seas and battle with other pirates. While playing this game, they will get a chance to learn some things about geography and history. Some parts of the game feature violence but in a cartoony kind of way. But just make sure that you provide guidance for your kids on this.
