Or, wait six weeks, and steal Rory's when he's so loved-up and sleep-deprived that he doesn't even notice

I already have my eye on his iPhone - I feel it might be a little rude to also separate him from his favourite game


PS: Thanks Rory!

By then I wouldn't even notice if you had your i on my eyePhone...

My soon to be 4 year old loves Mario Kart and Rayman Raving Rabbids. We have both I & II but I think a new edition was just released. Cow tossing, plunger throwing, and all the goofy races = good times at his age!

Still makes pretty good times at 36 if you ask me!!!

Potentially helpful tip on Mario Kart: I found the "wheel" thing that comes with it really annoying after having put in many, many hours on the GameCube version. So if you don't get on with the new controls, you can just plug in a Game Cube controller (pretty cheap second hand or even new now) and get back to "old school" controls. I also saw a third party Game Cube style wireless controller at the weekend (HMV at Gatwick) which might also be worth a look.

As cool as the wheel is, I just don't think it feels right unless you have a wheel that is securely clamped to a table, I just don't like the flimsy feeling of it floating in the air (and it's murder on the arm muscles after a long stint!!)

Well I just turned 37 a few months ago and didn't want to admit it, but the Rayman games are always in the system even when my little guy isn't playing.

Thanks for the suggestions - RRR and Mario Kart are looking like probable Christmas presents at the moment. Thanks again!

Another one that I don't believe was mentioned is Super Mario Party. It's essentially like a board game mixed with small mini games. After everyopne has a turn, it goes into mini-game mode where everyone competes and earns coins/stars/etc. It's nice cuz it mixes it up for everyone by having everyone aginst each other or teams of 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 3.

Then if you don't want to do the whole game, you can just play the mini-games. Good family fun.

I love Super Mario Party. I remember having a bunch of friends over and playing it on N64 and then Game Cube. It was a blast. I've played the one on Wii too, but thought the older boards were better, but I do really like the monopoly board.
