You misunderstand me. I'm not the one new to games. I'm asking if you knew someone who was, what would you suggest. Just FYI my first game was Sonic the Hedgehog. I still love it even though every one after Sonic Adventure 2 has made me weep.runtheplacered said:

Intro to gaming? Halo.
Before anyone even opens their mouth. Halo. Simplest game in the universe, and it even manages to entertain. Sometimes.

Definitely depends on the person but id recommend a puzzler or a platformer for a 1st timer. Simple controls, easy to get into, long-lasting appeal. My personal 1st time favourites: Tetris and Super Mario.
Halo I suppose because it has a multitude of difficult modes, it's simple, well made, and leads people to try new and better games. I'd also recommend playing something like Smash Bros Melee with a few friends. That was actually one of the first games I played and it built my hand eye coordination up so well I could play anything. However I definitely think the best thing to play would be a console FPS because it builds skill with a controller. After you play one of the multitude you can pretty much play anything.
Welcome! Welcome to city sevent- I mean, the Escapist!
One of the old cartridge games would be the best, in my oppinion. But, if the person is one of those twitchy, impatient types, perhaps a jump to a PSone platformer would be better.

Portal, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Ep 1, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2 .... Anybody noticing a pattern here?
Anyway, One of my friends came over to me a few years back and said "What kind of games do you like? Because I bought a second-hand PS2 and I want some games to play."
This was the first games console he had ever owned. So, I told him to buy Call Of Duty: Finest Hour, because I was having plenty of fun with that at the time.
So anyway, his first time ever playing a game, in a local multiplayer match, HE ABSOLOUTLEY SLAUGHTERED ME.

I think you already bitched at him, and not just on the fact that this thread is overdone.Anonymouse said:
I would probably recommend the Half-Life games, since when I want someone to start gaming, I'd have to give them a good game, so they'd play more games.
I liked the Half-Life series, and I hope that whoever wants a recommendation, likes it also, and so asks for new games to play, because he/she thought Half-Life was good, and thus, thinks that gaming is good.
