DS games.

[cazdee]

Can anyone help with a game that a five year old can play without supervision.
The ones I have bought are suitable for a three year old but he can't play them and neither can I !!!
Many thanks

our 4 year old plays grand theft auto.
horrid henry.
the simpsons.

all are easy to play but gta is his fave game.

has he learnt to kick the s**t out of the prostitutes yet?

[bibblebub]

Why would you let a 4yo play GTA? These games have a rating for a good reason.

[wilkesneil]

kakurol, he knows how to do everything, he has gta on xbox , ds and the eldest has it on ps3 and he'll switch from 1 to the other.
he even tells me i'm no good and he'll show me what to do lol

[Kakurol]

Are you people the rejects from the Jeremy Kyle show? You are pathetic if that is your real attitude.

[ummmm]

wilkesneil - are you donna1901 as well then?

[wilkesneil]

you give him kids games and he gets bored, he played gta round his uncles and it keeps him entertained.
he went shopping with his nan the other week and she promised him a dvd, she picked postman pat but he was in a mood all night cus he wanted the mummy!!! (not normal 4yo viewing)
i think its best he enjoys the game he plays and if its gta then it is gta that he'll play.
games don't come cheap when the kids play for 10 minutes and think i'm bored now, he plays gta and will play for a hour then he'll play streets of rage on old megadrive but always goes back to gta, dunno why but he does

[wilkesneil]

g/f left her acc on so i logged out and logged into mine lol...

[ummmm]

Have you tried actually playing with him instead?

[wilkesneil]

yeah i have but everything he wants to do involves games or his quad bike (but too cold for that at the moment for him)
he don't like football, just games and films.

Try being the adult in the situation. Unfortunately that seems like a forlorn hope and in future years the rest of the community will suffer the consequences of your pathetic attempts at parenting.

[ummmm]

Couch potatoe then?

Take him to feed the ducks or something...

[wilkesneil]

so they will kakorul and your street is 1st, maybe if policing was done correctly then i couldn't see how many games like this could be out.
also why you want to HAVE A POP, how many horror films create serial killers???

at the end of the day he is going to live in that sort or world, so while he's having fun he's learning about the real world and not the fairy-tale world most people like their kids to imagine!!

I would say Mario Kart but probably not enough hookers and drug dealers (although there is the occasional explosion)

I found out the other day that my 6 year old had been allowed to play Halo 3 at his friend's house after school - friend's mum also didn't bat an eyelid. He's now developed the habit of pretending to kill me and his mum when he's not happy about something - cause and effect anyone?

[wilkesneil]

ummmm, there are no ducks , no ponds around here.
he uses the fields on his quad with a few of the other lads in the warmer months. apart from that there's nothing for kids to do apart from going to the park which he does do.

mario kart

Have you got him the 'love' and hate' tattoos yet? They're only skin markings, after all.
