There's a lot of trouble in the Sanderson home, but it's nothing a tiny robot can't fix with a few simple tools and a can-do attitude. GameSpot gives Chibi-Robo, a new GameCube game, a middling review, but I expect that more positive word-of-mouth will encourage me to buy it. My 2-year-old loves "Robot King" (Katamari Damacy), even though she can't work the two-stick controls well enough to play it, so I'm on the lookout for more family friendly console titles. (She's my kid, I can ruin her any way I please, thank you very much.)

The trailers are actually a little disappointing, looking more like a typical graphic adventure game with boss enemies and such, but in a cute setting. Not sure I'd pay $50 for it, though it'll probably be bargain-binned or available used later this year.
