O'k so my son is starting to get into my gamimg world. He has a Wii, but loves the xbox, he has Disney Connect and some sports games. He absolutely loves trading off with me back in forth in rpg style games, he'd never trade back if he could read better
Anyhow his favorites are Divinity 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur(his favorite), due to sword play and graphics, he's a fantasy kid.
Any other suggestions of games we could play together?
I've considered starting the Fable series from scratch...

How about spend time teaching him to be a man? The game of life.

fable 2 is pretty fun and easy, but has some mature themes. i think they could be avoided though.
i loved fable 2. kept me interested as an adult but definately has enough sword play and magic to keep a 5 year old entertained for hours id imagine.

Some suggestions:

- Castle Crashers
(as SG_Geaux mentioned)

- Bastion

- Minecraft
(If you've got 2 decent PC's, you can even play this one with him. I'm dying to do this with my son once he's older.)

- Beyond Good & Evil HD

- Dust: An Elysian Tail

- Torchlight (maybe?)

Sports games are generally very good for pickup and play. I'd also recommend platformers for the same reason. While there aren't very good ones for younger ages on 360, you do have the 2D mario titles on Wii.

Fables an awesome series. If he can stand a downgrade in graphics I would buy the first fable. It was easily the best

Teach him what sex is when you hook up with a hooker in Fable 2.

ETA: I'm sure he'd love Amnesia. Maybe a little bit of Slender.

teach him to play baseball, soccer, basketball, anything to get him outside most of the time. He should be allowed to play video games at night and with friends, but during the day, he should play outside and roll around in the dirt.

Don't do it. He needs to be outside playing, so go out and play catch with him or wrestle or something.

Get them hooked on gaming at an early age, they turn into socially awkward kids that don't want to do anything other than game.

If you insist on gaming, go straight to sports games.
