Following on from Keith's handy blog about games for kids comes news that Lego Batman was the winner of the Best Videogame at the, erm, 2008 Children's BAFTA's. Congratulations and all that but is Lego Batman really the best kids game of the year? Sure, Batman is fun enough – though the "Lego" thing is wearing a bit thin now – but is it better than Mario Kart Wii or Professor Layton and the Curious Village, both of which were also nominated? Layton maybe - I'm not sure that really qualifies as a "kids" game anyway - but surely not Mario Kart?
Having said that, after a weekend spent "playing" the Madagascar 2 game with my three year old – her two-word review would be "more penguins" – I would have happily stuck Lego Batman on given half a chance. But still. For those with children, or who are young at heart, what was your kids game of the year?
