So I'm thinking of getting my brother a new game for his PS3 for Christmas. He has three kids like me and is not a big gamer and I think the only time he ever plays is the rare occasion he has the house to himself. So I'm considering the the new Halo, Call of Duty Black Ops and Assassins Creed. I'm leaning towards Ass. Creed b/c he isn't going to be dong any multi-player or online gaming so the emphasis is a game he can enjoy playing for a long time in "story" mode. Thoughts?
I think Halo is an X box only title and COD has become more and more online and multiplayer focused with a short story mode. Assassins Creed not only has a long and involving story mode but also stands up to repeated plays, my stepson is always going back to the second one. I think your hunch was right.
Duck hunt ;)
Asteroids
Yeah Halo is an Xbox exclusive so That cancels that out.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is a good game I enjoyed the story mode and it was definitely a new approach to the game franchise with all the drones and being set in the future. On Ps3 the online is free so if he wanted to play online and had internet access its pretty basic to set up.
Assassins Creed 3 I believe is not as good as the previous ones but it's still a solid game and just like the others it has a long story line that will keep you playing for a long time.
Check out Dishonored its got really good reviews.

I'd say Black Ops 2.
Assassins Creed will be quite long, if you have little spare time, he'll probably never finish it.
