Double Fine has taken a break from the heavy metal thunder of Brutal Legend and Iron Brigade to make kiddie games like Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster and now Happy Action Theater for the Xbox 360 Kinect.

Happy Action Theater is a collection of eighteen different mini-games made for kids age 2-12, including some homages to classic games like Breakout and Space Invaders. A lot of it looks downright silly, but some of it actually looks kinda fun.

The game was supposed to be out last year, but Joystiq spoke to a Double Fine rep at CES 2012 who confirmed that it will finally be released onto the Xbox Live Arcade sometime in February. A more firm date has yet to be nailed down and there's no price attached yet but Microsoft said it will be a "reasonable" price, whatever that means.

What do you guys think? It will certainly be fun for kids, but will you be secretly playing this when no one's watching?
