Buying my mum a game for her birthday. - Games

The Ratchet & Clank games.

[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;24670446]If she said story, I'd love to say Bioshock, buy you said she can't shoot for shit. Mass effect 2 is quite nice too, but again... shooting. Viva Pinata . :downs:[/QUOTE] Don't be hatin' on Viva Pinata, it is up there on the best games list for me.

Didn't your mom say she wanted a platformer not all these other games? I can recommend Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. That's about it.

Psychonauts! :buddy: It got a PS2 release, so you should be able to play it on the PS3.

Oh yeah, Psychonauts definitally. Definitally. [sp]do it[/sp]

[QUOTE=Snuffy;24695368]Psychonauts! :buddy: It got a PS2 release, so you should be able to play it on the PS3.[/QUOTE] There's no "should". A lot of PS3's aren't compatible.

Get her Valkyria Chronicals. You could find it at a gamestop for 20 or 30 dollars.

JFK Reloaded.

As been said many times, the best game I can suggest is EFLC, its GTA, and The Ballad Of Gay Tony is really good. Lost and Damned is meh...

The most she gets in Heavy Rain is quicktime events, pretty much.

Buy her Trine,it's a fantastic game.

Heavy fucking rain !!!!

[QUOTE=MutantBadger;24699006]With this being said, if you have a FAT ps3 then get Psychonauts.[/QUOTE] Probably around 75% of all PS3s sold have no backwards compatibility, they phased it out pretty quickly. I have a fat PS3 and that doesn't have it. I also wholeheartedly recommend Heavy Rain, it's such a fantastic game. The only things I can fault are the voice acting and the script, and neither are terrible, just a bit rough round the edges.

Heavy Rain, huh? I wonder if sJASON. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRJ9t8JsWIw[/media]

The penumbra series, brilliant puzzle games with little to no fighting scenes. Make sure to tell her to play it in the dark as its easier to do some of the puzzles this way.
