Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
$59.99
This is the first FPS game that I bought in probably over 5 years, and I had a blast. If you're a casual gamer like me, and just want some eye candy and an easy to follow game where you shoot down the bad guys...this is it. The campaign mode is pretty short I guess, around 6 hours of play time. But the online gameplay is nice, and it's a good game to have when friends come over and you want a split-screen shooter. Overall, it's a fun game; it's easy to pick up and you get to shoot down a bunch of russkies.

All I know is that my Godchildren were screaming with joy when I gave them this game. While visiting them, I heard them laughing and having so much fun playing and for me that meant I did okay buying this game for them :-)

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
$49.99
I played this game with my nephew this week and we had a blast! My favorite thing was that we could each go off and have fun with the split screen option instead of one person having to follow the other person around the whole time. Also, each Movie section has this big area where you can go around and discover all sorts of other fun things to do, not just the normal game.

He's 9, so he definately is ready to start taking charge and it was great because he never had to ask his aunt how to do something, in fact, in the area wehre you can create your own stuff he was showing me how to do it. Everything was really intuitive for him so he had a blast.

We played for an hour or so and never got bored, there were so many different types of things to do in the game. It was just bedtime so we had to stop. I can't wait to play it with him again!
