Games not to buy for your kids… and what to buy instead

Common Sense Media has compiled a list of games parents should avoid buying for their children, suggesting a substitute in each case. (GamePolitics via vg247)
Here’s the list:

  • Assassin’s Creed (Mirror’s Edge)
  • Borderlands (Infamous)
  • Brutal Legend (Ghostbusters)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Battlefield: Bad Company)
  • Dead Space: Extraction (Deadly Creatures)
  • Dragon Age: Origins (Braid)
  • Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (Batman: Arkham Asylum)
  • Demon’s Souls (Uncharted 2: Among Thieves)
  • Left 4 Dead 2 (Overlord II)
  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (C.O.P.: The Recruit)

This list kinda sucks, right? So we took it upon ourselves to compile a new one. We have it for you after the break.

  • Assassin’s Creed (Mirror’s Edge)
  • Borderlands (Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time)
  • Brutal Legend (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Halo 3: ODST)
  • Dead Space: Extraction (Lego Star Wars)
  • Dragon Age: Origins (Mass Effect)
  • Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (Infamous)
  • Demon’s Souls (Crack cocaine)
  • Left 4 Dead 2 (Plants vs. Zombies)
  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks)

Our suggestions are so good, your kids won’t be able to tell the difference. Hell, with some of these games, they’re even better off than with the ones they originally wanted.
Granted, ours might also be a tad different from the games being substituted, but at least we didn’t go for “Braid” instead of “Dragon Age: Origins”.
