Smarter. Faster. Better.
This is not the first time a study has suggested positive effects of playing video games. This study has some serious merit. Play Xbox with your kids and give them an advantage in life. It can´t hurt unless you screw up as a parent.

Lara "Family Fun" Croft - Guardian of Light
Once in a while a game that's fun for the whole family shows up. One of these is Lara Croft - Guardian of Light downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
Lara Croft is the strong buxom vixen from the Tomb Raider series. Angelina Jolie played her in two movie adaptations of the games including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Lara has been compared to Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley in the Alien movies as a positive female hero.
The game plays as a combination of Dungeon Crawler, Plat-former, and Puzzle game with a strong cooperative element for two players.
Even though it contains elements that can be scary for 4-6 year olds, it works great with kids from 7 and up. The co-op component is great for siblings or friends to play together and learn to work together. It's even a fun game for parents to play, with each other or with the kids.

Orbs! Give me Orbs!
The first Crackdown (which had a Halo 3 MP Beta key on it) was very good! I bought the game for the Halo 3 Beta but I quickly found that it was a very good game on its own right. After some playing, both I and my wife were dreaming about orbs, that increased your abilities. It was fun and addictive.
Crackdown 2 is on the horizon now and we can't wait to play it.
"Get that Orb, Agent!" - Will do!
