Guess whose joining the Xbox 360 family?

Well I'm not. My Niece is. She's five years old. She's gonna play CoD, Halo and make racist remarks on Xbox Live.

My sister and brother-in-law are getting her a 360 with Kinect. I may or may not have gotten her interested in video games. She comes round to my house and she wants to play with my consoles. The problem is, she struggles using controllers, she struggles to comprehend on what to do with it especially if she's using something like the NGC controller with different buttons.

So they're getting her Kinect as she can just play around with her games without intimidation of using buttons because she's the controller and she has no buttons. Apart from her noise I guess.

Well done to Microsoft for making gaming more accessible.

Sounds like my niece on the PS3. Except she doesn't just shoot people in CoD, she loves shooting zombies, too.

D-Pad, 7 buttons. 3-5 of which you don't even use depending on the games, and most kid games only use A and B or 1 and 2 depending on the way the controller is held.

It looks almost perfect for her. Shame her eyes aren't developed enough for 3D :(.

It looks perfect for her. Now to petition Nintendo for this. There;s nor reason why they shouldn't considering they make games for children.

She's getting Star Wars Kinect apparently. Maybe you can have a co-op of "I'm Han Solo."

[quote name='The Catboy' timestamp='1333741892'] @Pingouin7I would never give a little kid a 3DS, they are expensive and kids tend to break things. [/quote]
But it's a 2DS!

Can I go to her house and break the game before she plays it? I'll save her from an existence of enjoying horrible games.

I'll go buy her Gunstringer and Fruit Ninja Kinect at least.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
