My son just loves Pokemon. and I must admit, they are pretty cool. It would be nice to have a little animal/monster-type companion to fight your battles :) There is a new game coming out too. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Explorers of Darkness. However, I think he is outgrowing those games. Last time he bought one, he finished the entire game in like 3 days. The kid is just to smart! We tried out some of the Brain Academy games, but those are even too easy for him and he is not really interested in them.
The reason I am pondering this, is that his BDay is coming up soon and he has not had a new game in a while. Being so busy w/school and all, he has not had much time either! But, summer is coming……Soon I Hope, and there is always the PC games; Fate is a good one too. So many choices!
