Here’s the situation.

You’re going to introduce your cousin (who’s been living in a hole in the ground) to video games. You show him/her some games that you have and he’s/she’s hooked. So hooked in fact that they go back to their hole and start their own collection… but they don’t know where to start. That’s where you come in. Lets now assume that because they’ve lived in a hole they now have all kinds of money to buy any console/PC and game and also get some electricity in their hole so they can play games, what 5 games you tell them they absolutely have to play and add to their collection.

-My list-

1 – Mega Man 2 – Excellent game design and music.
2 – Mario Kart DS – Possibly the best, most perfect version of Mario Kart thus far.
3 – Roller coaster Tycoon PC (plus the two expansions) – So much replay value and tons of fun.
4 – Super Mario World – Not actually my favorite Mario game but in terms of game design, it’s excellent.
5 – Wii Sports – One of the top fun/casual games out there.

GO!!
