I'm looking for suggestions for xbox 360 games for my 9 yr old son. It needs to be rated E, E10+ or possibly Teen as long as there is no violence. He would like to have some kind of 1st person adventure/strategy game. He already has minecraft which is enjoyed but he's not bored of it. I did a google search and the Portal series seems interesting even though it's rated teen.

The Lego games are really popular and there are a ton of them.
Heard the kids love MineCraft. Portal is pretty cool, I couldn't get the hang of it at all when it first came out but it was a really cool game visually, and my cousins who were low teens at the time were pros. Also, do not know if this is an XBox 360 game but I remember Little Big Planet being a huge hit when it first came out in the younger crowd.
Lego Dimensions? Really any of the Lego games are a good bet - there is Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Batman, and Marvel and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. My 4 year old and I play Lego Star Wars - that game is awesome. It spans the original trilogy and prequels and has enough content and characters to entertain both of us.
My sons both love the Skylanders games. You can pick up the older games pretty cheap. Unfortunately, you end up having to buy a bunch of characters, too. Rayman Legends is pretty cool. It's kind of like a Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog-type game. I'll second the Lego games. Lego Marvel Superheros is one of the best games I've played.
My 7 year old daughter recently started playing Minecraft, and I'm pretty sure I'm more creeped out by the creatures than she is.
Skylanders is really fun. Forgot about those games. I would suggest looking on Ebay or somewhere to see if someone is unloading the game and some of the character figures in a bundle. The gameplay itself is fun and should be easy for a 9 year old to get the hang of. But buying all of the figures adds up.
That IS a good one. Kinda like Skylanders where you play as different characters, but you don't have to buy anything extra. Incorporates a lot of different movies which is fun too.

If your kid likes driving games, there should be plenty of options. The Burnout games were all a lot of fun. Rockstar's Bully would be pretty decent too, and pretty tame violence wise.
The batman arkham games are rated teen, but they're fairly dark.
The Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are cartoony beat-em-ups, that are a lot of fun.

I beat Lego Marvel with my 6 year old nephew over the summer. Getting all those achievements took me forever. Great game.
