Free Online Games for Kids... Great for Kids Who Love Trucks

My kids love computer games. Not exactly earth shattering I know. I guess I don't really know a family with kids, who doesn't know how BIG games are. We find ourselves in frequent discussion (or should I say battle) with our children wanting (or begging) us for 5 more minutes on the computer, the DS, or the Xbox. Sometimes the love of playing an Internet game is more appealing than playing outdoors... sometimes you can't even get your kids to acknowledge your existence. Ever been there?

Is there anything good that can come from having your kids boarderline addicted to a computer game? I try to find the good in everything. Right or wrong, I actually use computer games as a reward for good behavior, completed homework, and a clean room. When my children do wrong, not only are there no games, but the computer goes up on shelf, out of reach. Sometimes it sits there for days!
