Yep.. another Christmassy topic.. mm Topic..

Damnit, Christmas is so frustrating!

Anyhoo..

I'm having some troubles thinking about what to buy for the male species at the moment. All that comes to mind is: Smellies, chocolates and sex toys, but I couldn't really give the sex toys to a 6-year old, or my dad. That's just rude.

So. I need your help. Yes, YOU!

Imagine:

You're 6-years old. But you can have todays toys instead of what we had when we were really that age. What do you want? And it has to be cheaper than £20 per toy.

You're 30-something. Love PS2 games, DVDs, PC stuff. What do you want? Which games do you really want? Or even recommendations will help.

It will help!

Also, anyone played Need For Speed Underground? If so, please tell me it's brilliant and really mean it. ;-)

Need For Speed is good, it's only the "hardcore 1337" that think it's rubbish, because it's made by EA and has customizable cars in it.

Still, Need For Speed: Road Challenge is still the greatest racing game of all time.

Thankee!

Already bought NFSU 2 now, so if it sucks I'll take it back. Could always try it myself seeing as it wasn't sealed.. :-/ If so, then Black Monday and/or the new-ish Burnout.

Spy toys! Great idea! I bet they're real fun to play with! ;)

Family Guy Boxset or Futurama Boxset for the 30yr Old.
You can get some fun 'scientific' toys from Argos for about £20. 6yr olds go through a stage of wanting to be a spy or something they sell stuff like that at SR and at Argos/Woolworths.
Good Luck!

Look for some shiny but ultimately useless plastic gadgets.
Men love those things.

Make sure it can go either on a key-ring or a belt and has a flashy light on it as well.

Need for speed underground is wicked. For the 30 year old get him The getaway black monday or grand theft auto san andreas. For the six year old get them cool mini mot controlled cars they are very cool and he will probaly like it.
