Your dad's not alone! My 55 year old dad (I think. It's somewhere around that. Yes, shame on me indeed) loves CoD 4 as well and recently asked me for some similar recommendations.

He sucks at it (tends to let the computer squad do the killing but claims the credit nonetheless -_-) and sometimes needs me to help him out on the tough missions but he is getting better. He's actually enjoyed a lot of games this generation, his favourites are:

CoD4.
Motorstorm.
Super Mario Galaxy.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (he's played this for hundreds of hours).

Yeah, it's kind of odd, but I'd define my dad as a half-gamer. He absolutely LOVES war FPS games. He doesn't play much (as we've tried to get him to learn how to play games, but he claims he doesn't have the coordination for it), so he really enjoys watching my twin brother and I play various war FPSes, and tells us what to do. I don't know if I've ever seen him as excited as I did when he watched "Death From Above" on COD4 (greatest level of all time)

Right now, I got:

  • Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
  • Tom Clancy's Endwar (not a FPS/TPS, but I think he'll enjoy it)
  • World in Conflict (")
  • Call of Duty 5

And I'm sure I'll get a few more. At some point, I might get him a Wii in hopes that the controller might get him to play it more, ala machina-AX, but there's not a huge boon of FPS games on the system (yet).

And to totally turn this thread upside down - if I ever bought a Wii, what current War FPSes or similar, are out there? Again, no Sci-Fi ones (aside from Red Steel, he might like that )...I had:

  • Red Steel
  • Call of Duty 3
  • Call of Duty 5
  • Medal of Honor

For that list. Any others that might be good for a 60 year old?

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
