Katamari Damacy with Jessica
My daughter Jessica is not quite three yet, and we've lately started a new evening tradition of playing Katamari Damacy together. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about long-term psychological damage, but she rocks out to the fantastically trippy intro video ("Cows! Ducks! Panda bears!") and then enjoys telling me which things to run over ("Run over the mouse, Daddy! Now go get the beach ball!"). Soon she'll be able to work the controller herself I'm sure.
If you haven't played this game, it's really unlike anything you've seen before. Here's that intro video, which is a psychedelic wonder:

I haven't been that frightened in a long time.
Is the game anything like the intro video?

I just saw this game being played at a party a couple of weeks ago, and found it to be so filled with goofy joy that I just had to have it. At $20 or so (amazon, ebay), it's gonna be money well spent... as soon as the dang thing actually arrives at my doorstep! :)
I also just learned that the sequel: "We Love Katamari Damacy" is due out here in the U.S. in November. From the sample videos around the Web, it too looks like a lot fun!
