Arcademics
You aren't going to be able to stop your kid from wanting to play video games, so why not introduce them to stuff that's both fun and educational? Arcademics turns subjects like mathematics into fun pastimes. Take, for example, Penguin Jump, where your kid will be in a race with three others; solving a mathematical equation to jump to the tile that matches the answer. Come to think of it, this isn't bad for grown-ups either...

Travian
This is a browser-based , multiplayer, strategy game. You can play either as the Gauls, the Romans, or the Teutons - each with its own strengths and weaknesses - to build a prosperous village and an army that can either defend against attacking hordes or one that can plunder and loot your neighbours. Gameplay is all about striking allegiances, cooperating with teammates, and working towards ultimate domination of everyone else. Travian is addictive and a single game lasts for months.
