Katamari is pretty playable on the PS3. There are a number of surprisingly decent PS2 games (if your PS3 has backwards compatibility, or if you have an old PS2) for kids. Stuff made by 2K Games seems good, like Dora Crystal Kingdom, Ni Hao Kai Lan, etc. We’re going to try out VeggiTales for the PS2 this weekend.
Katamari is a good game too, kids grasp the concept quickly and they enjoy identifying all the stuff they are rolling up.
I found Little Big Planet too challenging for ages 6 and under
For time limits and stuff, I find I don’t have to worry about that. My girls are 6 and 4, and they run out of energy playing the games after about an hour and naturally put them down. I’m sure this isn’t the same for all kids (I don’t think it was for me), or all ages, but for now, I can tell when they are done and there’s no whining as long as I promise to let them play another time.
