My computer is chock-full of 'Kid's' games, I've never seen so many, quite enough to keep my nine-year old distracted for quite some time. However, he does want to know when he'll be able to play Tomb Raider & such on my box. My answer for that is that once I get a decent video card we'll be able to play something rather more exciting than that like UT. At the moment he thinks tdfsb is pretty cool.
