Hey fellas,

I recently reinstalled my girlfriend's brother laptop. His kids are using it the most and I was thinking about getting them some great games that they would enjoy (Steam or not). I started with The Sims 2 (they love it) and Minecraft (which might be way too complex considering I spent more times reading wiki than playing it when I gave it a shot few years back).

I'd like to get them some more great games. What are some games that are not too difficult (and graphically taxing, the laptop isn't too good)?

Thanks!

Doesn't have too big of a learning curve. And also has split screen co-op.

Cartoonish graphics, and pretty easy to learn, you're just building your castle while you try to destroy the other castle using your catapult.

I'll check Awesomenauts out, thanks!

@ Preemoose: That's pretty good

@ Garnet: Will check, thanks!

Sims has pretty funky sex so I would not worry.
