Looking for present advice

My son (11 years old) was really looking forward to Diablo III, but its release has been pushed back to January. So I was wondering if the gaming population here might have any alternative suggestions?

Extreme left field suggestions also welcome.

ps: He has been good.

Games that might be good...

Arkham City
Skyrim
Skyward Sword

However you might want to get him something "relating" to Diablo III like if he really wants it maybe get him a custom DIII keyboard or something like that...

Man, I glanced at the title of this thread and the first damn thing that popped into my mind is; "How about some past advice". Sigh... I really couldn't help it

Anyways, +1 on Skyrim, especially if your boy likes to explore, I had almost 160 hours in the game before I decided to take a break.

Has he played Torchlight yet? That's a great dungeon romp in a similar vein to Diablo.

UNPOSSIBLE!!!

Okay so maybe possible...

My son (14) asked for Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Both games I can't wait to play.

That's the first thing I thought when I read Jaggeds post. Teach the boy a lesson. If he thinks the stuff dad likes is uncool then dad should pretend all the stuff sonny likes is the coolest things ever and insist on doing them with him. And that includes everything, even dating his girlfriends.

Both are near flawless picks with AC having a little more life to it with the d/l content missions the franchise usually rolls out, also if he wouldn't get frustrated with mini puzzle sequences Uncharted 3 is a tight package of entertainment.

Portal 2. Develop the mind.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Unfortunately Portal was one of the first casualties of the "Anything Dad likes is Uncool" onslaught

Possibly a suitable present for me


Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. Purchases have been made.

Hope you all find what you want in your Christmas stockings
