XBox junkies- some help please?

My daughters, ages 10 and 12, received an XBox for Christmas. They want to expand their collection of games, but I am clueless. :dunce:

Can you recommend games that both can play together which are nonviolent and age appropriate?

Thanks- CLueless Mom

2. Are They into sports?

If so...

SSX Tricky or SSX 3
Madden NFL 2005
Any of the car racing games other than Grand Theft Auto series

Other than that, all I play are violent video games

8. Has he gotten SSX3?

That one gives you more control over what you do. You really explore the mountain in that game

3. Non-violent is going to be hard to come by, but here are a few...

"Odd World" is a lot of fun and a kids game that I even had fun playing. Though you do have to blow up some bad guys it's more of a puzzle game and a cooperation game.

"SSX Snowboarding" is pretty fun and they can race. The tricks are fun and cool too.

A game that you can all play together is any of the "Myst" series. It's beautifully constructed and visually stunning. It's a fairly difficult puzzle game, but you can set the difficulty.

Your girls would love "The Sims". Non-violent and fun.

4. Fuzion Frenzy

Fuzion Frenzy combines the continuous, frenetic action of a futuristic street sport with the action-packed fun of mini-games set in a dynamic 3-D urban environment. Six arenas and more than 45 mini-games provide plenty of competitive fun for up to four players.

10. MX vs ATV Unleashed

if they're into racing games, I don't have it but IGN gave it a good review, and it appears to be rated E

Thanks for all of the great ideas.
