Just wait till she's eight and kicking Zurvan's ass.

It's scary how fast kids get good at games.

I just let my kid play various games on noggin.com (and nickjr.com, since he navigates there from noggin.com). He's getting pretty good at some of the platformers.
he really likes playing drums, but he sucks at rockband.

Monkey Ball Banana Blitz - has like 50 "party" games a couple of which my niece was getting pretty darn good at when she stayed with us over Christmas - she was 3 and a half at the time.

My favorite game other than GH3 is Tiger Woods golf, if you're into golfing games, it is really good.

I borrowed a Wii for a month (too damn expensive to but outright, I'm no balla) and all I really played was Wii Sports. It was simplistic but still addictive as hell. Especially the tennis. Loved tennis.

FWIW - 2105 was my tennis rating, and I got up near 1600 at golf (usually shot -6 or so for nine holes). Never played baseball or boxing, sucked at bowling.

yeah, my son would play the bowling and a bunch of other games. I should probably bust that out again and see if he's interested in any other games now. He's almost 4.

She loved the hammer throw game, she likes spinning the wiimote around as fast as she could.
