If your brother is into the Lord of the Rings sort of fantasy genre, I would recommend Skyrim. I've also heard great things about The Witcher 2, which seems to be similar, but with a lot of political complexity in the story like that of Game of Thrones. If he doesn't mind a little bit of criminal fun, there is always Rockstars "Grand Theft Auto 4". It's a shame they didnt release "Red Dead Redemption" on the PC (yet?) because that was a beautiful game for those who love westerns. But Rockstar did release "LA Noire" for anyone who fancied being a gumshoe in a 1947 setting in Los Angeles. If he fancies slaying zombies, I would highly recommend "Left 4 Dead 2". You can even team up with 3 other random players on the Internet to complete the missions. I love this game. Speaking of which, you might want to install Steam and set him up with an account. You can purchase all sorts of critically acclaimed games, such as Call of Duty and some that I mentioned above, online and it downloads rather than having to go to a store to buy it - plus it has really good sales all the time. If he is into sci-fi, I would recommend the Mass Effect series. They are three games in total and you would have to start with the first to understand the whole story, but it comes highly recommended for brilliance. If he likes puzzles and a bit of a Psychological thriller (with a twisted sense of humour), I would highly recommend Portal 2. There is more that could be added to the list, but I think I have suggested quite a few AAA titles, but is very popular to the general audience, so I'm sure he will have a blast with one of the above games. Feel free to check reviews for these games to get a sense of what they are like before dropping money on it. I generally search YouTube for the games title and IGN (ie. "Skyrim IGN review"). IGN does good reviews and it's nice to see actual game footage rather than screenshots. Let us know what you pick! - Hans Sent from my iPhone On 2012-05-18, at 12:13 PM, Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com> wrote: > You know what I was thinking would be a terrific game, is Machete!
