I haven't had a video game console since the mid 1980s (Colecovision, yo). Now my wife and I are giving my son an Xbox One S for his 8th birthday (it's cheaper than a party at the lazer tag place, and lasts longer than 2 hours - I hope).
So what are good games for the Xbox? My kids (10, 7, and 4) love Minecraft, which they play on their Android tablets, and all the tablet/phone games like Angry Birds, Subway Surfers, and Candy Crush. They also like the LEGO video games.
I've played some PC games, mostly violent first-person shooters that in no way will I let my kids play until I think they're old enough to watch R-rated movies -- the good ones from the '80s, like Robocop, and Total Recall. So obviously it's a few years before I let them play any of the games I'm going to get.
So does anyone have any recommendations? I know I want to get the new DOOM that came out earlier this year (again, not for the kids). What are some similar titles?
And any ideas that are appropriate for a 10-yr-old and 8-yr-old boy and a 4-yr-old girl?
