    Babies don't need video games! You can get HOURS of fun by giving your baby a cardboard box and a stuffed animal.

    That said, this is wonderful for bonding. One day you're playing with your little guy on this game before he's right alongside you firing headshots off in MW2.

    :sniff: they grow up fast...

    As for the box thing why not some LEGOs? Ok, not for a three year old as those pieces will just end up in their poop. But LEGO still makes Duplos I think (they do.) I played with those a ton as a kid before moving on to LEGOs.

    Bet you didn't know that Duplos work with LEGOs, they do!

    @Rachel Fogg: For all that we find familiarity and ease of use in the dual analog design, I have to say watching my younger sister is stumped by them.
    When playing a game shell hold the palm rest bit with one hand, then she will grab the analog stick with the other and move it, then let go and use the other one, then start using the action pad. The bumpers on back don't exist to her.
    Though shes learnt she can do racing games if she pushes the trigger against her knee, steady the controller with one hand and use the analog stick with the other. If she crashes shes knackered, and she has no concept of deceleration on corners(Super Speedway helps with that)

    I'd guess doing some R&D work on kids playing video games could bring some radical changes to controllers, or maybe make a new 3rd party kids controller for specific games.

    @deanbmmv:

    D'awww...that has to be buckets of cute seeing that in action.

    It's okay, I didn't play games until I was aware that I was playing like at 4 years. For the most part my big brother just sat me beside him while he played his game and placed the controller by me. I would smack the controller or try to waddle away but he would drag me back. At least that's from what he told me....

    Every since then, I've always been 2player to my brother. But I love it. ^-^

    I'd of maybe being about 10. Playing lemmings and Mario on my dads NES, then getting my own Gameboy with Pokemon Blue :D.

    You know if I gave my sis a NES pad I think shed find games much easier. She can use the DS fine. She loves nintendogs n the Mario DS mini games. (and completed 1-1 the other week)

    You should give her the NES, the controllers were kinda smaller back then and the games less complicated.

    While they're at it they might as well dress up the babies as Mohammad and have them riding part warthog/part Dick Cheney mounts.

    My guess is you should just send an e-mail to the editors asking for your star back. Make sure to put in some death threats to catch their attention. #dantesinferno
