Thanks so much everyone!

Well, my kids know very little about what kind of system they'd like. They just know that most of their friends have them. My DS11 is especially clueless about the differences between them. He's just really never played them at all, even at friends' houses. He was always a little scared of them. He went to a couple of parties that had a Gametruck and he didn't know how to play any of the games, nor did he want to, so he hung around outside chatting with the parents.

But projecting what I know, I think he'd like anything with driving type games since he loves cars and Star Wars games. DD8 would love dance and sports games but picks up other things well.

Thank you for the Minecraft suggestions. My DS is also "scared" of Minecraft because many of his friends have told him that they are "addicted" to it so he's worried about getting involved in something that might overly tempt him. That's my DS!

But I like the idea of the PC games. I've heard great things about Civilization. I may buy a few PC games as well.

Thank you all so very much. I truly appreciate the input.
