    Right...feeling very out of place in this forum! Basically I was considering getting the bf a game or two as part of his Christmas pressie........but that's as far as the idea goes! He has a Wii and a PS3.......not sure of the games he has on Wii cos he doesn't really play it much...recently he is attached at the hip to Call of Duty on the PS3...any suggestions? Or should I root round his collection a bit?

    Haze has been delayed until next year.

    Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is out this Friday. It's a really good game, probably the best on the PS3.

    If you want to get him a Wii game go for Super Mario Galaxy. If he isn't narrow minded enough to not play it then it's probably the best game out this year.

    There's a game called the Orange Box out on the PS3 this week (I think) that contains five of the best games of the last ten years. Ive heard the PS3 version has one or two small technical problems, but they probably won't bother him too much.

    And I second Super Mario Galaxy - probably the most straight up fun game in a while :)

    Exactly what he said.
    Your boyfriend is broken if he doesn't appreciate either of them.

    I'd also recommend Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction as its a brilliant game that any PS3 owner should have.

    Assasins creed is good but not great, Orange Box and R+C all the way though.

    i'd have a quick root around. The quickest way might be to just take a picture of the side of the boxes. Nothing worse than getting a game you've already played as a present.

    Another question, would your BF play online much? (i.e. does he play multiplayer Call of Duty 4?)

    If so you might consider getting him Unreal Tournament 3

    he will love ya foreva!!

    I think Haze is gonna make it before Christmas after all. Release date of the 14th was mentioned, alongside The Orange Box.

    Unreal Tournament 3 may even make it.

    I'll be picking up a rake of games in the sales in any case.
