Re: Guys and Gifts…
Well, you could pre-order him something. I’d be happy to get Mass Effect 3 on day one. I’m also anticipating Gears of War 3. If you want to give him something right away, you can always go with an MS Points card. That way he can buy downloadable content that he wants for the games he already has.
I could tell you what games I’d like for myself, but it might not be of much help since we have no way of knowing what he already has and my tastes are quite different from the average XBox owner (I’m a huge fan of RPGs but not the MMO kind and not as much in shooters).
However, out of the recently released games, one that seems quite popular (from visiting gaming forums) is Dead Space 2. That’s the only recent release I have any interest in.
