Games for teenagers

DeSelby83

I know someone working with troubled young people from 15 up to 22/23 ish age. Boys and girls. They are looking for games for the xbox 360 that would suit that age group but they have to be under 18 rated. Ideally im looking for suggestions for guys and girls. So far iv come up with titanfall, destiny, fifa and forza horizon 2 to try and spread the types of games.

EDIT: Just found out they will not be playing online so destiny and titanfall are ruled out for a start

Generic Dreadhead

Castle Crashers, 4 player side scrolling Hack&Slash Golden Axe style game.

Digital Solitude

Dungeon Defenders is a fun 3D Tower Defence Game, there's multiplayer in it

Something like Skyrim is pretty universal

Dark Souls if they want to be treated like adults

All I can think of off the top of my head, more suggestions will come along

Literally any game that's not Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty (or similar enough to be a clone) :pac:

A skater game. (Tony Hawks)
A brawler. (Tekken/Street fighter)

HonestCry

Astro turf and a football!

Rock Band / Guitar Hero games????

Could be tricky to find the peripherals new but check online or cex/gamestop for them, these games are great in a group.

You don't specify if they need to be played as single player or multiplayer co-op by that I mean by more than one person there as opposed to multiplayer online

Local and online.

I was actually going to come on to recommend Portal 2 as well. Fantastic game.

The Arkham Collection of Batman games have a 15/16 rating and are all great games. I played Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands recently and I really enjoyed it. Very short but addictive platformer and one you'd pick up cheap. Mirror's Edge is a great game as well - A parkour inspired FPS. There's some violence in these games in terms of people being beaten up so not sure it that's a non runner.

Valiant Hearts is a great game as well. A puzzle platformer set back in World War 1 that gives you lots of little bits of information about the war throughout the game. Stick it to the Man is another puzzler that might be of interest. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a great little game as well with a very emotional story in it.

Tekken x Street Fighter is vapourware.
Street Fighter x Tekken is dead.

Ultra Street Fighter IV and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 are pretty good games, but they are fighting games, not brawlers, thankyouverymuch.

LOL

I meant as in that genre. Mortal Kombat would have them ripping each others spine out.... :pac:

Fighting games indeed.

Scene It - fun gameshow style movie trivia game.

Trivial Pursuit (xbox game includes fast-paced fun version as well as original rules). These games have fairly universal appeal.

NBA Jam - fast paced cartoony basketball game.

Game like Dark Souls, Arkham Asylum and Skyrim are good but not ideal for groups or sharing - they are single player and suit long periods of play.

I have a copy of this and 4 of the buzzer things that I got as an unwanted gift. I don't have the box but the op is more than welcome to have it for free if they want it.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, its been very helpful. Thanks for the generous offer stone deaf but im based in the uk so that's probably a but awkward. I think I definitely have enough games to recommend to the centre now. Thanks again everyone
