Definitely Lego Star Wars (and Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones are coming soon). But also check out Beautiful Katamari.

I'd say:

(Suprised i haven't seen this yet) The Simpsons game - My lil bro who is 9 loved that, make sure you don't get it on PS2, he played it on the 360 at my Dad's and we got it for PS2 here, but apparently its just not the same....

some sort of easy driving game, like Cars

GHIII might be good realy...

i dont know how you could manage, i hate having my lil bro playing on the Xbox, but as my Mum bought it for me, i have to share, good thing i own all the games!! mwu hahaha!!

I think Burnout: Paradise and Rock Band. Replace Rock Band with Guitar Hero if you want but a kid would have more fun with Rock Band.

Viva Piñata is really fun for any age, so don't overlook it. Timeshift is a pretty good shooter.

I actually was very mature for my age and when I was 8 I got GTA : Vice City. No lie. Just let him know it's fake and its not to be brought outside of the game.

Yea, just like on that old "Sea People" South Park episode where Cartman got some extra sea people by going into an alley with some guy, closing his eyes, and sucking out the sea people through a hose. haha!

Is the 8 year old kid showing interest in games? Or is it your habit that your trying to get him into? I would let the kid grow up a lil before getting him/her into the habit of becoming a couch potato. Especially if your concerned w/ the content of the games. If any thing get him/her a Wii so at least he gets some movement in his joints from swinging that controller around.

why are ppl saying eternal sonata? you think an 8 year old can play it? and the story will just right over his head. anyways i dont suggest burnout paradise b/c it will teach him bad driving habits :P jk, its a good game and he should enjoy it. also to avoid kiddy games (which is weird that you dont want kiddy games even though you're asking for suggestions for a kid) maybe some rythm game like GH3 or RB.

Judging from the HD review, I thought Viva Pinata was pretty neat. It's much too complicated for little kids. But it has that vibrant atmosphere that anyone can play. I thought it was rather interesting, but not for me lol. Maybe for an 8 year old, if he's into all that "taking care of pets" sort of thing. If not, then umm, maybe Blue Dragon if he's into RPGs or Eternal Sonata. Or better yet, just go to bestbuy website and search games under his age rating. Easy enough.
