I generally prefer shooters although I'm open to strategy games like Command + Conquer: Zero Hour, Dawn of War, etc. Ideal price range is less than $30 although I'm open to the possiblity of $40-50 dollar games if they fit within my computer system requirements. My PC specifications: 1.8ghz, 512mb ram, 40 gig hd, integrated audio, and Intel Integrated graphics(which essentially prevents me from playing most of the new games that I'd really like to get like Half-Life 2, Doom3, etc.). I work at a large electronics retailer so I have a employee discount that's good to knock off typically ~$5 on most games.

My strategy with my christmas list is generate a lot of possible choices and give the large list out so that the handful of items on it that I do get are random(so that the element of surprise is maintained).
