I remember being 2 years old and first banging my head against a VCR. I really wanted to get Toy Story working again.
Even if they can't read, a lot of educational games w/ reading can still be interesting. The bright lights and colors encourage exploration and discovery, and when you figure out what the game is trying to say (even if you only know a couple words) it's an epiphany.
Just let them play around in Putt-Putt without your supervision. Or Spy Fox / Lemonade Stand. Zoo Tycoon is also a really good one. They all require reading, but a kid can just bang themselves against it and learn on their own. (If you leave the room).
