Hmm, children grow slowly nowadays, especially in USA, I see.
Like minicars? Dippy? Scary games?
Friend, at the age of 7 I was great Mortal Kombat fan, we even made our own "tournaments" in school, which the school tried to prevent (it was, as I heard, all around like that in Poland, that was why most parents hated this game), and we're still alive. It was fun.
At age of 8 and 9 I was great fan of Quake and Duke Nukem 3d. So you say games are scary?
Currently, I love Blood Omen, Soul Reaver and Dungeon Keeper, as I already said.
