Vampire Hunter D

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is by no means for children and i believe i was a little young to see it when i did (13ish).
from www.amazon.com
d himself is an enigma for most of the movie -- repressed, quiet, kind to kids, but with a hidden vampiric side that only turns up occasionally.
from www.amazon.com
oh this one is definately not for children!
from www.amazon.com
i wouldn't recommend this movie to children due to extreme violence and a little nudity.

the bottom line: other the little kids, and people directly effected by sept.

the puzzles are not that frustrating if you can think maturely (even kids can pass this game with any problem).
from www.amazon.com
but if you are very cautious about what your children play i will just tell you this: this game does get very bloody, and violent, but who cares?
from www.amazon.com
maybe not for younger kids, but peoples over 10 is a fine age to play.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from ash89, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: my final recommendation on spyro year of the dragon is it's for kids 9 to 20, simply because kids need to be challenged to help them learn more.
from www.amazon.com
but i wouldn't reccomend it for young (under 8) children or children who aren't really interested in video games, because it can get to be really frustrating sometimes, especially for kids under 8.
from www.amazon.com
many playstation games are too violent for young kids.
from www.amazon.com
our kids and grand-kids love this game.

Xenogears for PlayStation 1

$146.00 Est. at Amazon
