Finally got this over the weekend (as a birthday present) but I haven't gotten to play it yet. Every time I try to install it, Steam gets halfway through and then gives me a "servers too busy" message. But Steam works just fine if I try to play any of the games I bought 3+ years ago...

It is :awesome: And quite child friendly in these days of ridiculously violent games (but, sure, the kids love those ones best :P ).

That's what sold me on it - I refuse to have shoot-'em-up games and much prefer things with creativity and cleverness and strategy. That's why Little Big Planet was so wonderful, and he still loves doing that one.

Not yet, but I may. Not really into games but might be a fun try.
