Bigred's Video Game Thread

[Poker Orifice]

It's my step-son's birthday this weekend. I've already bought him a present for his birthday but would also like to grab him a game for his x-box but have zero clue what to get him. He's turning 22yrs old. He's on it alot but know he only has a couple games.
Any suggestions?
What are your favourites?
If you could only get ONE game.. what one would it be?
tks.

Guess I'll just buy him a gun

Thought I responded to this!

So xbox 360...you might need to figure out what he has but the following games would all be solid:

Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas
Skyrim
Call of Duty Ghosts
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Diablo 3
Bioshock Infinite

One possibly cool gift could be a pre-order of Titanfall. It comes out in March. The risk here is that it was developed for the new xbox console but will also publish a downgraded version for the xbox 360. The jury is still out on whether the 360 versions of xbox one games will be good.

Thanks alot for this ^

It all worked out good. He's just starting out at a new job at a Ford dealership & will be doing an apprenticeship mechanic. Lied to them when he applied for the job, telling them he had some tools for the job. Easy choice for present > tools.

Also picked him up an airgun - - there was a really nice new one still in the box that a tenant had left behind when they didn't pay their rent this month.
I'm not sure what game he plays on the x-box but whatever it is there seems to be alot of hand grenades involved. Now with the airgun I get a bit of a break. (I rented an apt. directly below mine). Maybe I should be asking about good headphones for gaming?

Ok. What would you suggest for a good set of headphones for gaming? They don't need to be the best of the best or anything but at the the same time I'd like him to be excited about them.

tks for your help guys. I have zero clue with this stuff. (last game I played was Nintendo hockey back in 1988 - - I think it'd just come out at the time).
