my kids (now 6, 5, 3 & 1) have their own pc. it is hooked up to the internet and has many different learning games installed.
they bounce between the pc & xbox equally.
i don't filter the internet yet, they have no idea. pc is monitored all the time.
when i see my 6 year old girl and 5 year old boy playing shrek 2, mad dash, shrek, barbie thug2. together on xbox it is phenomenal! a childs laughter is wicked, especially when you are the parent. they work together to accomplish the tasks. i can and do play with them.
my three year old tries, but she opts for the pc more because of the controller size.
i am going to slowly let them play halo2 now. i am not going to urge, but if they want, i am going to play it with them and continue to teach them about the fantasy of it all.
i am with pattycakes. i grew up and still play video games of all types, and i have been successfull in not killing anyone.
