Minecraft<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This massive block-based game is the perfect introduction to games for both kids and adults. Creative mode allows players to safely experiment with navigating a digital world using a controller, and once they get the hang of the controls, there\u2019s so much to create and explore. From building the home of their dreams (or the Greek Parthenon, if they\u2019re feeling ambitious) to attempting to survive through a Creeper-filled night, there\u2019s something in Minecraft for every gamer in your life.<\/p>\n de Blob<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n THQ\u2019s bright and beautiful platformer drops players into a world devoid of color (thanks to the efforts of the nefarious INKT Corporation) and in control of an amorphous blob, tasking them with bringing Chroma City back to life through the joy of painting. Well, painting might not be the best way to describe splattering buildings, landmarks, and even Chroma City\u2019s denizens with color. de Blob is a sleeper hit that everyone in your family is sure to love.<\/p>\n Snake Pass<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n You might be tempted to think of this as an update on the classic \u201cavoid eating your own tail\u201d mobile game, but it\u2019s actually a highly enjoyable physics-based puzzle platformer. You\u2019ll need to help the heroic serpent Noodle navigate around 4 unique environments by coiling his body around and through obstacles. Snake Pass is cute, colorful, and a lot of fun for kids who want just a bit of challenge.<\/p>\n The Tweens \u2013 Games for the older kids in your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n LEGO Games<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s next to impossible to just pick one great LEGO game, especially since there are a bunch in Game Pass to choose from. Want to channel your inner Caped Crusader? Enjoy all three LEGO Batman<\/em> titles! Love antiquities but hate snakes? Take LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures<\/em> for a spin. Feel like everything is awesome? The LEGO Movie Game<\/em> is just right for you. Best of all, these titles all support local co-op play, so your tween can invite a friend or sibling along on the adventure.<\/p>\n \u2018Splosion Man<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n One of the most unique puzzle platformers ever made is perfect for helping your tween exercise both their mental muscles and their reflexes. Twisted Pixel\u2019s over-the-top hero, the titular \u2018Splosion Man, is a botched science experiment that is trying to escape from the labs of Big Science. However, rather than jump or shoot, our hero instead uses his own exploding body to launch himself through the air (hopefully through the game\u2019s wide variety of traps and obstacles) or destroy enemies. As an added bonus, you can play with a friend and launch off each other\u2019s explosion.<\/p>\n Max: The Curse of Brotherhood<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a tween with a younger (possibly annoying) sibling, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ve daydreamed about making them disappear. That\u2019s precisely what happens in Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, as our eponymous hero wishes for his brother Felix to disappear, only to learn that losing someone you love is terrifying. An entertaining blend of platforming and puzzles, the game\u2019s gameplay hook revolves around Max\u2019s enchanted magic marker, which your kid can use to do everything from drawing vines and branches to controlling fire and water.<\/p>\n The Sporty Kids \u2013 They can\u2019t play outside all the time, but they can bring the action indoors.<\/strong><\/p>\n Forza Horizon 4<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Hailed by many as one of the best racing games ever made, our own Playground Games has created the ultimate open world driving adventure. Your budding driver can hop into one of hundreds of real world cars and make their way around a stunningly realistic British landscape, battling the elements as the seasons change weekly. With numerous things to do and collectables to grab, as well dynamic events popping up frequently across the world, you\u2019ll never run out of stuff to do.<\/p>\n Descenders<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Even the most dedicated adrenaline junkie will want to strap on a helmet for this joyous downhill racing experience. Hop on a mountain bike and take off down the hill, jockeying for position with fellow riders and pulling off mammoth tricks along the way. Thanks to the game\u2019s procedurally-generated worlds, your favorite extreme sports fan is guaranteed to have a fresh new experience every time you get to pedaling.<\/p>\n Pro Evolution Soccer 2019<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Are you ready for some soccer?!? One of gaming\u2019s longest-running footy franchises is available on Xbox Game Pass, with the latest iteration offering up the most photo-realistic and lifelike players to date. In addition to many improvements on the field itself, there are a number of big changes off the pitch as well. From new leagues to MyClub updates for the general manager in your family, there\u2019s a something here for football fans of every stripe.<\/p>\n The Life of the Party \u2013 Does it seem like every kid in the neighborhood is at your house? We\u2019ve got you covered.<\/strong><\/p>\n Rocket League<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With its four-player split-screen action, this unique hybrid of soccer and driving is the perfect game for a big group of kids. As intense as it is fun, Rocket League<\/em><\/a> is a prime example of \u201ceasy to learn, tough to master\u201d gameplay. Kids might start off doing basic driving maneuvers and hitting the giant ball willy-nilly, but it won\u2019t take long before they\u2019re performing daring aerial \u201cheaders\u201d and drawing up complex team plays. For those moments when your kid is playing solo, there\u2019s a variety of AI-controlled opponents with multiple difficulty settings, as well as a plethora of game modes.<\/p>\n Fuzion Frenzy<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n An absolute classic from the original Xbox era that still feels fresh and new today with tons of competitive play for up to four-players via local multiplayer. With more than 45 mini-games to pick from, Fuzion Frenzy<\/em><\/a> is perfect for groups of friends for after baseball practice or during sleepovers (if you don\u2019t mind the occasional screaming teenagers after lights out). This is one of those timeless games that feels like it\u2019ll never go out of style.<\/p>\n #IDARB<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n While this game started off as a crowd-designed goof titled \u201cIt Draws a Red Box,\u201d it has since morphed into one of the best family-friendly multiplayer games around. Supporting anywhere between two and eight players, IDARB<\/em><\/a> is sort of a cross between a platformer, action game, basketball game, and pop culture explosion, all thrown together on one chaotic battlefield. Success requires quick reflexes and solid teamwork, but this is one of those rare games in which you\u2019ll have a great time even if you\u2019re not quite sure what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n The Summer Schooler \u2013 School might be out, but that doesn\u2019t mean the creating and experimenting has to end.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cities Skylines \u2013 Xbox One Edition<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Encourage your kids to embark on a fulfilling career in planning and community development by learning the ins and outs of city management this summer.
