A nice set of computer games is offered by startup Flowplay. It is in private beta now, but a short video is available to see, what Flowplay is up to. Additionaly to games, Flowplay is a social community for kids. It includes own profiles, messaging and tagging.
As users play games, they earn tokens which can be used to purchase clothes for your avatar or other stuff. Avatars have their inventory and act pretty well.
