Which video games are recommended for a 10-year-old?

Post Reply New Topic

You don't have to necessarily be afraid of games that involve fighting and killing if they are not age restricted. I was playing such games at the age of four. I had toy soldiers and tanks and planes and such too.

kids see violence all the time, on tv, in film, hell even in real life sometimes, unfortunately enough. removing violent video games will do little, IMO.

Outside of all those logic and puzzle games across at least three platforms or systems? Hmmm...! !!

1. Classic Sonic games. Or the Adventure duology. Or Generations, take your pick!
2. Pokémon, especially FireRed/LeafGreen or Emerald. Trust me, I feel that Gen 3 is the generation that kickstarted my Trainer life. Or failing that, try Platinum or Heart Gold/Soul Silver!
3. Gran Turismo or some sort of arcade-style racer if your kid is into cars.
4. Same for any high-quality sports titles, as long as your kid is REALLY into sports (Unlike me, of course).
5. Not really a video game, but if you can find them and if your kid can handle enough noise, try some pinball machines.

Of course, these are only some of the things I can think of from my experience.

our KFC here used to have a little pinball machine. where have they all gone?

Face it, former WP mod TallyMan may has well have been a funposter.

Smash bros

Learnevery movement. aerial, grab, down attack, shield, shield roll to start with

I would've said Katamari Damacy(Da-ma-shi second part of title) series. Great third-person puzzle action game. I'd say be careful with this game. It gets weird cutscenes like "WTF" weird. If a 10 year old is into what most would considered out there. Then they might like it.

Not sure if it's on the network for down load let me know.

I haven't been in a little while, but last I knew, our Chuck E. Cheese had a pinball machine.

Ha, I found a flyer for it, it's Roller Coaster Tycoon:



Like a lot of machines there, though, it seemed like it was "out of order" half of the time =|

Also, The Pinball Arcade is a pretty great pinball sim. It's not 100% authentic, but it's about as close as you're going to get, and where else are you going to play so many classic tables??

^ they require a lot of upkeep, or so i heard.

also that is freaking amazing.

You've got to play final fantasy x (final fantasy ten)

Though you might understand it better at say 12 years old

Minecraft is definitely a good pick, likewise most Nintendo games. Mario and kirby are good picks. The LEGO games are good too, there are many of those across all different platforms. Rhythm games are also good.
