At the moment my top ones are Jet Set,Amped 2,and PGR2.
I only know of being able to play your own music in Amped, what are the rest?
1. Project Gotham Racing 2
2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
3. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
4. Deus Ex 2: Invisible War
5. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Plus, if you can get it, Xbox Live is good fun.
On the non-exclusive side, the GTA Double Pack is worth serious consideration - two great games for the price of one - and Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tomorrow is excellent.
Let him buy some games first, so that he can play them. No point in spending loads on Live, possibly a network card or router or whatever and then not having the games!
If you ever do need any information on setting up Live Syphonical, either post here, or have a look for some old topics. I've written about it on more than one occasion, and in considerable depth as well.
When buying a Xbox you should buy Xbox Live before buying any games, how much have you got to spend?
> I think I have a router, still not sure though
It would be a box that has a cable from it to the PC and one into the back of it from the phone line.
It would also have more ports to allow you to connect up more computers.
