Ok, so my mom got my dad a ps3 for christmas, just for the blu-ray player. Also because I told her, we could video chat if they had one in their house, which my mom thought was cool to do through the tv.

Anyway, I go to their house for christmas, and hook it all up for them, we watch a couple blu-ray movies, and everybody thought it was way cool. Because I knew they would have it, I took a few games with me to play if the opportunity came up, which it did.

My 65 year old dad who has never played a video game in his life, was watching me play COD WaW. Well, now my dad really wants to, as he put it, learn to play blow em up games. The entire time he was watching me play, he kept repeating, thats so ****** cool.

Anyway, next weekend, I'm going over to my parents house, and my dad keeps calling and asking me if I'm going to bring a blow em up game and teach him how to play it. Now I figure there is no way he is going to be able to handle any COD, GTA, etc.. as those will be way to hard for him with all the weapon and gear load outs and changes.

To make a short story long, I need to find a first or third person shooter, that is really easy, with little or no weapon choices, or gear options, you basically run and pull the trigger with very little resistance or challenge. As it is, that will be pretty tough for my dad to deal with as it is.

If you know of any easy and good visual shooters, first or third, that pretty much force you to use a gun the game assigns and gives you no customization options, please let me know. I am hoping to find something that will be really easy so my dad will want to try other games from there.

Thanks for any input.

I would say Dark Sector pretty well fits the bill... things blow up, weapon choice is SEVERELY limited (bad for us, but fits what your asking for) and it has nice visuals. I dont specifically remember the difficulty, but I remember beating it in 2 days, so it couldn't have been too steep.

And I'd suggest Black. It's intense, but easy to learn and doesn't have a complicated weapon load-out or system. My grandfather plays it.
