Top 5 Games for Chrismas Teenager Edition

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

This is the latest installment in the Call of duty series it came out on Nov 20 and set records for sales. Here is the official site: Modern Warfare 2 

Modern Warfare 2 is available on xbox 360, PS3 and PC
It is rated Mature
Price $60 -$150 This is new so it is hard to find it at a lower price unless it is used

A variety of packages are available including the Prestige edition which comes with some night vision goggles, they work very good. I bought the prestige edition and it is well worth it. 5 AA batteries not included(I found out the hard way)


Modern Warfare has a great campaign that is based off some terrorist using trickery to start a war but most people like it for the multiplayer which is fast paced and has many options.

Batman Arkham Asylum

This is a great game that has been out for a little while but it makes my list because it has a campaign and some bonus levels to keep you interested. Batman Arham Asylum takes you through a thrill ride with a number of characters from the comic book. Your character changes and grows as you accomplish tasks or get hurt. Any fan of Batman should play this game.

Tekken 6

Although there seem to be some issues with multiplayer lag, I think every teenager should have a good fighting game. Single player games are great but with a fighting game you can invite some friends over and have fun playing with each other.

Tekken is a long series that hasn't changed much but the graphics are up to par with todays consoles and I think it is a good choice for under the tree. With a large roster of characters the tournement can be played over and over again.

Here is a review from IGN:



In the case of fighting games you should pay attention to what you teenager likes because there is a bit of a rivalry between some of the fighting games.

Rated Teen
Price  about $60
Platforms Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP

Borderlands

Borderlands just came out and is a great choice because its campaign is long and there are a lot of customizable weapons.  

Its visual style is unique to gaming and very pleasing to watch in HD.  It has a skill tree lick many RPG's but plays like a first person shooter.Downloadable content is also available

Consoles PS3, Xbox360 and PC

Rating mature
Official site: Borderlands
Price $50-60
