Better yet, invite everyone to dinner at a nice restaurant and then offer to let them pick up the tab for you. |

P.S. I would avoid going online for objective advice on this subject. Each system has its adherents that border on fanatacism. It's like Bush v. Gore all over again.

I like the EA football/hockey games... Have Madden 2004, NCAA Football 2004 and NHL 2004 for PS2. The ESPN games are getting good reviews as well... |

Nice to see they didn't have to retrain to start this new endeavor.

If you ever have any interest in playing a game with him, I suggest the ATV game (race around a bunch of tracks and kick each other off of the bikes). But I've never enjoyed the football/basketball games that I've tried on those sorts of systems.
Also I like XBox better than Playstation (graphics are much better), but I don't own either one. |

I'm also looking for recommendations. Game Cube games for a 7 yr old. He likes football. It's for my son who was accidentally raised by elves in the North Pole.*
*it was just a little too cute for me. I was expecting it to be more perverse. Not "Bad Santa" perverse, but rather an "I drive a Dodge Stratus" or "Get off the shed" perverse...

If he's truly a geek, he saw it last night at midnight.

EA Sports NCAA Football is incredible. You can play any of the 117 Div A schools and several of the AA schools. It includes all home stadiums, mascots, fight songs, etc. After the season, players leave, you go through recruiting, and redshirt players. The games are announced by Brad Nessler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso. Very addictice. I have heard the Madden NFL series is good also, but I have not played it.

How about if you're someone's husband? I have a plentiful supply of both substances and uplifting chants.

I have a young friend who played Div I football and said that they did a spectacularly good job of getting his stats and speed right.
He stopped playing when he graduated from school and the game.

Madden is announced by Madden and Al Michaels, and has a franchise mode where you can draft players, sign free agents, move your team, build/expand a stadium, and even affect the team's bottom line by setting the prices for hot dogs, beer and parking, among other things. It's also more fluid and graphically tops NCAA 2004 since NCAA was done off of the Madden 2003 graphics engine. |

I don't need anymore of these canned photos cluttering my refrigerator and I don't give a shit what your kid looks like.

Yes, please! I always feel vaguely guilty throwing these photos of velvet-clad moppets away but frankly am far more entranced with my refrigerator magnets.
Do parents really expect you to keep these? If I like your kid, I know what it looks like, and may even give it a nice present. Otherwise, save the picture of junior shrieking in terror on Santa's lap for the relatives who are obliged by blood to be charmed.
