Default xbox 360 games (not much too choose from)

I bought my 11 year old son an xbox 360 for christmas . Its hard for him to find a good game as he is not allowed MA rated games . What a crock of rubbish these games are . I think i will stick with the computer .

Well the 360 is geared towards an older audience, teenagers. For an 11 year old I would have gone with a Wii. Just my two cents.

Console=stupid games. PC is really the platform for great games. You won't see the total war series or Silent Hunter 3 in console. Nor will you see titles such as BlackShark, and homeworld2.

I H A T E consoles

Viva Pinata 1 and 2 might be worth a look. Also I've heard Sonic Unleashed isn't too bad. Might want to have a look at Xbox arcade. There might some good kids games up for grabs there.

I like both PC's and consoles. A lot of my friends own consoles and sometimes I rather kick back on a couch and play a xbox360 game rather than sitting in front of a computer screen.

Sports games are good, as with the PC they are pretty well non existent are to watered down.

Some console games are AWESOME!!! I use a console to help kill the boredom when I'm on the treadmill. I think the entire GTA series rules, so there's that for the console.
