Help! Need Expert Gamer Advice :)

[thepoetess]

Hello Gamers,

I can barely get thru the first Mario, so this is a question I'm posting about my husband. I'd like to get him a gamer chair for father's day. He likes the kind that sit on the floor and rock backwards a little bit, doesn't need the sound. he recently bought a new aperion sound system so that's enough sound for him i think. He is a crazy gamer and owns all the systems after Atari came out. Can you recommend anything reasonably priced? Also how much do I have to spend? I don't want to spend, say, 500.00. that seems ridiculous. he works full time so i don't need something that can withstand use 12 hours a day or anything. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

2nd question
Also, he has this one game that he really liked when it came out a few years ago. It had a kind of goodfellas kind of feel and it was about new york or chicago (sorry i really don't care that much about games!) or something. i think it was set in the 30's and he was a mobster or something. he mentioned once they had either a part 2 of it or a new game similar to it that he wanted but i have NO clue what the name of this is. does anyone know the game i'm talking about? i remember he was running around shooting people and going to safe houses all the time in the game--lol.
any help, again, would be much appreciated! thx!!!

Well arent you a considerate wife. :)

To answer you're first question, i think what you mean are Video Rockers... :)
Like this one: Video rocker (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&lr=&biw=1360&bih=643&q=video+rocker&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8363146559360730592&sa=X&ei=1cXmTZ6-M8vwsgbA-aWYCA&ved=0CCMQ8gIwAA)
They are very reasonably priced when you buy one without a sound system in them...
The one i linked you costs 25$

If the one i linked does not suit you taste, i suggest you just search: "Video Rockers" in google so you can find a store that might have a decent selection. :)

The second question's answer would probably be Mafia 2 (http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/mafia-ii/73934). Not to sound condescending or anything but you mentioned you didn't know much about video games, so i just want to tell you that you have to make sure that you get it for the right platform (Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC) before you go buy it. :)

Did this help? :)

2. could also be LA Noire, it's really new BUT you're a good guy not a mobster...

[Exentenzed]

Well he had apparently mentioned it was a part 2 of a older mobster game which fits perfectly with the Mafia franchise. :)

Came here to say this... Mafia and Mafia 2 are the titles that check out on all accounts with that story.

For the expensive silly alternative for gaming furniture, there's Sumo's line of bean bag chairs (http://www.sumolounge.com/sumosac-gamer.php?re=na). They look a little overrated to me and they aren't cheap (~$200) but I imagine they're comfortable... though that's just more I can ever see myself spending on a novelty chair.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestions! And I'm pretty sure that's the game, Mafia 2. :-)

You are very welcome. :)

I might happen to be a noob all of a sudden after 12 years of gaming, but a chair that sits on the floor?........................

Gotta click that link now, that sounds so stupid it might just happen to reach the awesome door!

Tht guy is lucky to have a wife like you :D. Any ways, i have one of those chairs but it doesnt do anything. Like it doesnt have a sound system on its back, a cup holder, nothin. I would sell it to u for 20.00 $ i just sit in my computer chair.

I think he might be playin Saints Row 2, Idk i only hav enough money for one vidya game for 6 months. (I'm 14 i dnt have a job so waht did u expect)

Plus did u say he collects all game systems since the Atari, is he sellin any of em i want either the SNES or NES i wanna play Castlevania :)
