Hi Arthur, If you live near each other and actually want to spend time together I would suggest a board game. Yes, they still make them and some very good ones. I am partial to WWII games such as those sold at www.multimanpublishing.com but there are also other genres. If you don't live near each other and actually want to spend time together I would suggest a game that has some social interaction or cooperative venture aspect to it, such as World of Warcraft (WoW). While I don't play "computer" games, I have a friend who plays WoW just to do something with his brother who lives in another state.

He's the classic "man who has everything", including a bitchin' computer that I helped him select and which I seriously envy: 2 huge monitors, 8 gigs of RAM and a 2 gig video card that demanded a power supply upgrade. (He's heavy into graphics, hence the video card.) One thing he doesn't have is video games, other than the Tiger Woods golf game. So I thought I'd get him a game. I don't even have one game and know nothing at all about the field. Ideally, I'd want one that takes full advantage of that fancy video card, I've heard that Call of Duty is very popular now. Any thoughts or recommendations?
