Oh! I missed all the anit-vf5 posts while I was out buying VF5. Well the kid got 3 games: Motorstorm, VF5, Marvel Aliance. So he should be good. Too bad one of the bigger exclusives aren't out. Is VF5 boring?

It's the system he wants, but my father don't know which games he wants. So what games you think I should pick up for a 14/15 your old boy? I'll be getting 2. I ruled out Resistance only because it's rather mature and even though most parents these days are cool with shooters, I won't risk it on behalf of my father. I was thinking: Motorstorm and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. What do you think? |
The sad part is Resistance is likely one of the games the kid wants to play most. Too bad you couldn't talk to the child's parents to get their input. Oh and a PS3 and 2 games is a pretty nice gift. :)

Precisely this and it's also not as flashy as Tekken, DOA or Soul Calibur so it won't 'wow' a kid who just wants to play around beating the crap out of computer enemies.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
Motorstorm is a must. I hate racing games and I absolutely love that game. Marvel Ultimate Alliance is alright, kind of tedious, but it does have two player mode, etc. which makes it more playable. Spiderman 3 might be a better choice than Marvel Ultimate Alliance, though I must admit I have yet to play it.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
What's wrong with a 15 year old getting R: FoM, because you are killing aliens? Nearly every game, not sports obviously, involve killing and must teenagers with half a brain realise that they cannot kill people in reality, they are two completely different things.
Motorstorm is a great game, but I still miss any splitscreen multiplayer. Although time attack is good, i would still like an exhibition mode as well as loads of extra tracks. I'm still playing that and Resistance from launch (should be getting RSV next week, which will be my first PS3 game since about the 1st may)

add me
how about giving the kid the money to buy some PSN name, for $60 they can get like 8 games lol.
