The problem with a lot of today's games is that they are too adult, even unconsciously, for a younger kid. Runaway would be great... except for that stripper part, the drag queens, and the pot references... Or am I underestimating what an 8-13 year old is exposed to in the media already?

No, I think you're absolutely right, Emily. If someone asked me the same question, the best I could come up with would be the MI games. There's nothing I can think of NOW that would be interesting to a kid. Trep may want to weigh in on this because his nephew plays games, but I think he's playing RPGs, from what I can tell from that funny Fable thread.
I think Runaway would just be . . . puzzling (ouch!) for a 13 year old. Like even if he got the references, and some would be obvious, they wouldn't seem very funny. Who cares?
