There was this one dinosaur game I loved, it was like zoo tycoon but totally about jurassic park: Jurassic Park Operation Genesis. It had you as the manager of the 'zoo' and you could drive in jeeps in the exhibits to help injured dinosaurs and had these awesome helicopter missions to sedate rampaging T-Rex and other dinos. You could also make your own island straight out of the ocean by pinching and pulling the land and it had all the economic stuff if you wanted to micromanage your park even further.

It's not exactly boxed, but Dino Run is surprisingly pretty and fun, even though it's quite minimalistic. It will probably not make for a complete Christmas experience, but they might enjoy it. :-) (And the SE version is on Greenlight.)

This thread instantly reminded me of another one.

If they have Psp, wii or 3ds you can try with Monster Hunter

primal carnage.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron = Dino-bots.

Dino D-Day

Gunman Chronicles

Orion: Dino Beatdown?

Chimpanzee riding on a segway or Orion: Dino Beatdown

Dino Beatdown.

Im surprised nobody mentioned Carnivores 1-2. Great dino hunting game.

But for a 9-12 year old kid, Jurassic Park operation genesis, or Zoo tycoon dinousaur digs(its an expansion for zoo tycoon) should be the best.

I think they have no DInosaurs, but the LEGO Games are really good for young Kids.

Dino Island, great game.

Dino Crisis

UGH! had a few dinosaurs that were messing with player's stone age taxi service :)
