OK, I admit it - I know nothing about PC games software, but my bro-in-law is big into it. My sister knows that he's not bothered about shoot-em-up stuff, he prefers 'creative' stuff apparently.
We want to get him a good game (or several) for stocking fillers so I need to know of some good ones that you guys would recommend.
She says he has Sim City already, but anything like that would be good.
Help!
Cheers,
Steve

assuming he has a reasonable pc spec (P2450 > 64mb ram 32mb 3D Card)
Stronghold - build and defend castles - pour oil over people, build catapaults etc.
Age of Empires Gold Edition - build up your particular race, compete against the pc or online with people. loads of resource management, combat tactics etc.
i'll think of more l8r !
