Anyone know a good game that is easy to grasp, control with tutorials i hope, games that may entertain my niece on her laptop i got her for xmas.

Specs of laptop so no games that are over make it here.

P4 1.6ghz i think maybe 1.9
256mb ram on win xp
8mb ati onboard gfx.

Skeeter, has she played any casual games? Do you think she likes matching or hogs or ihogs???

Only games i know of she likes are the ds ones she plays. I think ceebeebies site she likes too and loves youtube. Thats all i really know of her gaming etc.

Maybe you could let her choose a Big Fish game.
They have 1 hour demos so she could check if a game worked or not. I'm not sure what games would work with an 8 MB graphics card.
