Guild Wars 2

Hi all, I hope this is allowed. I looked for a “general” or off-topic forum area but there doesn’t seem to be one. However, this is the only gaming discussion forum I participate in and I could really use some advice/help . . .

My nephew is 15 1/2 and I want to get him a “cool” XBox game for Xmas. Problem is his very-Catholic and fairly over-protective mother (my sister in law), who tends to object to games that are too violent, etc.

Sis-in-law has finally decided that FPS-type games are okay for a 15.5 y.o. boy . . . as long as they do not involve killing humans. Zombies are fine. Other, non human toons/targets are apparently fine too (e.g. monsters, aliens, etc.). Just not people.

Okay, so I easily found great Zombie-type games like Left For Dead, but they are all rated M for Mature! She sees that and the game disc is gonna go flying out the window! Reason I’m writing here is that I really want to find a “cool” XBox game that is rated T (Teen) and does not involve killing humans, lol.

Any thoughts? I really could use some help here . . .

Thanks in advance:)

P.S. I actually want to get him GW2 so that we can play together but their home PC is crap and won’t handle the game:( Plus, all his friends have XBoxes, so that seems like the platform of choice at the moment.

I might suggest buying him an xbox live microsoft points card that he can apply to his account. That way he can browse through titles on xbox live arcade and decide with his parents if a game is ok for him to play or not. They even have demos for most of their arcade titles.

If your nephew owns a 3DS system, I really recommend the new game called scribblenauts unlimited. It may seem a little cartoonish at first, but it is a cool game that rewards a good imagination. Hell, I’m 21 and I’d definitely go out and buy it for myself.

Hi everyone,

Please refrain from creating non Gw2 related threads. These are the GW2 forums and discussion on other games does not fit here.

Thanks for your understanding
