Well... I suppose if he's going to be doing older games while he waits for the Starcraft 2 fanbase to reach critical mass and start slitting each other's throats over an argument over which is better, those aliens, those other aliens, or the humans who seem to have renamed their own species in an attempt to become more fashionable for the season or something, then I might suggest a review of Bully.
Of course, if he really wants something he can rant on and on about, I'd point him towards Dwarf Fortress.
