Need some gift ideas for a 16 year old, please help!

[abdul]

I got to get my little brother a gift for his birthday. He has a ps2 and i was thinking of getting him some games.

The last 2 ps2 games he bought are GTA SA and Call of Duty

Thanks for the help

If he's even remotely interested in cars, get him GT4.

[googlefest1]

how about a cute platformer to compliment those 2 games he has

[PDorr3]

do you have any idea of what kinda games hes into? Im really not into those gangsta shooting games or the overused world war games, so I really cant help in those areas. If he like devilmay cry type games, get him god of war.

I got a PS game for my 16th birthday. What I really, really, REALLY wanted was beer. :(

[machine.slave]

Get him a hooker! :D

Seriously, though... umm... what's he into? How much are you willing to spend?

For the price of a couple of PS2 games, you could get him a Cube with a couple of used games

Since you're on a classic (usually) forum, flip the script on him & get him R-Type Final, a primo shooter reminiscent of old school & it's being clearanced out at most electronic retailers (Circuit City, Best Buy etc...) for $10-15. It's fast paced like a Call of Duty type of FPS, just from a different perspective and with f'd up aliens LOL .

Hey

Get him the double pack of Elmo's Number and Letter Adventure / Journey.

Oh wait, you said 16 not 6 :)

Seriously though I do recommend getting a bit more silly and childish as most of the combat war sims and GTA games are over rated.

Go for Katamari Damacy ..

Get one of those retro collections - say, the activision one - and show him what old school gaming was all about

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Megaman Collection. I'm sure he'll love it.

BTW, I am 16, so I should know =P

[Rogmeister]

Well, Paula, I'll tell you...oh, you're not that Abdul? :D

Anyway, most teenagers seem to be into sports so perhaps you could get him Major League Baseball 2K5? A great baseball game and only $20! Obviously, there are tons of other sports games to choose from...

Heh, I was actually thinking the same exact thing. For less then 40 dollars you could hook him up with brand new copies of Gradius V and R-type Final. Besides, if he thinks they suck and never plays them you could always play them yourself. :D

Well seems like he is into shooting games
- Manhunt
- 25 to life (if it's out yet)
- the other GTA games
- sip him a porno dvd (my good friends sister did it once for his bday LOL)

Those are my only serious suggestions. I have some dumb ones like....
- hooker
- beer
- crack rocks

[rally9x]

As said before, God of War is the only correct answer, I think it really would fit into what hes into.

[mgriff]

How about old school reminiscent games
(all for ps2)
Sega Classics Collection
Shinobi
VF4 Evo
Virtual On Marz

[Vectorman0]

I would just get him several older, but good titles he doesn't have, as opposed to one new overrated game.
