I have a new grandson in LA and me and the boss are headed out there in a couple of weeks so madam can help babysit. I'll be sat around for most of the 12 days or so I am there as it is not really a holiday trip, more a help out with the wean episode. What would the panel recommend as a reasonably adult game or games to download to my laptop before I go. Its reasonably powerful and should cope with most modern games. Stuff like angry birds does my head. I remember many moons a go finding Myst a bit of a challenge but at least a bit cerebral. I also used to quite enjoy a game called Silent HUnter but basically, I have played nothing for years.

Or should I just focus on my current database project?

PS: I recall Doom making me feel physically ill after playing it for 10-15minutes

Tonsilitis, I could see you getting right into Football Manager 2012! Maybe not want to spend that much money, so even an older version would be decent (which I could give you a loan of).

Football Manager would be a good investment to be honest. Currently playing the 2010 edition again and still loving it!

Civilization 4, you can get the complete edition on Amazon for under £7. Absolutely brilliant value.

FM and/or Skyrim.

This. One of my favourite games and can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

Just bought it on steam. Full pack for £14. I was going to order through amazon but this is quicker.
I used to love these types of games but moved away from them, I'm hoping your recommendation will help me get back to them.

In fact someone gave me FM 2011 Christmas before last but I could not get into it as it appeared to lock up when you made the team selection. I assumed I was doing something wrong but it seems there was a bug in it which needed a patch downloaded so I might give that a go along with one other game maybe Civilization or Skyrim. I see good reviews of a game called Portal 2 also

Portal 1 and 2 are both really good to pass the time.

Both Portal games are AWESOME! Get them, you wont regret it.

Just get yourself a couple of emulators, sonic 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 Bob's your uncle!

I'd echo Civ. So much fun, think I have over 70 hours played on the most recent game.
