PC Games for a 4yr old.

Joebob · 13 Oct 2007 at 14:32

As title really. My 4yr old daughter loves using my PC to play on the cbeebies website and I am actually very happy for her to do this as it allows me to get some quality PS3 time in

I know you can get software for kids but was wondering if there's anything which anyone would recomend I look out for?

Good thinking - would save me having to buy anything as I already own them.... I wonder if she would like manhunt?

Tycoon games?
When I was 4 I used to play transport tycoon & commander keen 4 lol.
I then converted to RTS ( c&c, age of empires, knights and mechants) games @ the age of around 6.

CBBC and CBeebies website has plenty of games available for kids of that age.

he'd probably suggest that children are a load of rubbish, as well as pc gaming on the whole.

yeah the sims is ok, but a bit complicated at times for younger children. racing games are ideal really, but not sure how interested a 4 year old girl would be in racing. worth a try

well my son stared playing cod when he was 4(now 7)and my other son who is 4 now plays everything crysis,hl2 is his fav why do they have too play teletubbies there not daft and pick it up quickly.

I was thinking more along the lines of stuff specifically made for the age group rather than suitable mainstream games tbh !!!

snowdog · 13 Oct 2007 at 19:22

That way they'll never learn something

.

Honestly though, don't know, I never, even when I was 3, got games for my ''age group''.

Dora the explorer series my cousin loves them

Joebob · 13 Oct 2007 at 19:28

She already has a V-smile, which is good for when I want to use the PC and she loves Dora on that so I will look out for the Dore series ta. Has anyone played Dogz or Catz on PC? Do you think it's suitable for a 4 year old - difficulty wise not content wise.
