There's an unofficial patch you can get to restore the music, by the way.

SC is a very different style of RTS game, so you may want to suggest he play a demo first.

If they haven't taken it away you can get Supreme Commander at Target for $10.

I liked Super Laser Racer, (I got it when it was on offer in Steam), but I was a bit disappointed with its lack of multiplayer.
But New Star GP does, so I'm fairly happy about that.
Plus the game seems to be a bit deeper too. (Still lover SLR for its graphics and easier gameplay).

Protip for people who want Mass Effect 2 or any $40 game for $20 at the EA store:
1. Add Mass Effect 2
2. Add Need for Speed™ Undercover Boss Cars Bundle
3. Add Mass Effect™ Pinnacle Station
4. Enter PAXEAST842 as a promo code
5. ???
6. Profit!
It only works with those two because the minimum price for the discount is $39.95, adding a $9.95 game still keeps it a little under that while addding the DLCs adds exactly $10.

Getgames: VVVVVV $10.39
