Ideally something he can play with his brother.

I'll throw out the easy answer: New Super Mario Bros.

The carnival game.  Drawing a blank on the name.  Donkey Kong Country is also popular with my 9/7/6 year olds.

I have never played WoW.

Whatever you choose, make sure game is simple enough to be mastered by 6 year old or you will be risking causing permanent aversion to genre.

Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.

Mario Kart?


Kids (especially boys) tend to go nuts for this game.

When I was 6 Nintendo (specifically the NES) had been out for 2 years. Pretty sure I was playing Mega Man 2.

Don't baby that kid. If you do, he'll grow up with shit taste in games. He and the brother both need to have their face kicked in by games until they can buy their own. They'll thank you later, maybe.

If he doesn't like Zelda he doesn't deserve to be a gamer anyways.

Actually, going back a step -

1) what games do they already have?

2) what types of things / games are they into?

My 6yr old daughter likes the Donkey Kong Country game for Wii, and some of the classics on the Wii like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.  She didn't like Twilight Princess, but has played the Skyward Sword demo at Target about 900 times.  She's getting that for christmas, obviously.  :)

She also went through a pretty intense phase of New Super Mario Bros and FFCC: Chocobo's dungeon, though the latter I'm not convinced she knows what she is doing. 

Same kid plays Dungeon Defenders on PS3 with me and Minecraft/Terraria on PC, though.  ymmv.

My sons are now 10 and 9.  We started them out on the Lego series.  Try Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman, etc. 

They love the lego series and still play the games now.

Get a PS3. Make him beat Demon's Souls. It'll teach him that second place is never good enough.

My son liked the original Cars game, for just driving around and having fun.
