Cheaper games and very much used rather than new. My kids are young and sometimes struggle with the controls, but so far they haven't complained about the graphics.

I've heard a lot of my kids' friends talk about SimAnimals and they are loving the idea of creating their own ecosystems -- it's a good way for them to do "hands-on" learning without venturing off into the wild. Thanks for testing this stuff out for other moms to make better gaming decisions! I like that you are not opposed to kids’ technology, but keep it at a comfortable distance (grannie’s house).
