Who's Your Daddy?

oes your Dad like to look at girly pictures? Maybe he likes to shoot defenseless animals with a big ole gun? Perhaps he named you after a stadium, a favorite athlete, or even a racetrack? We at GoozerNation [Ed Note: This is all averyzoe...] have found the perfect gaming gifts to make all these Dads and more happy campers on Father's Day. Let the games begin!
Dads love beer--well, mine does anyway. Nothing like popping back a cold one on a hot summer day. If your Dad is of the, "Fetch me a beer, boy!" variety, pick him up Beer Tycoon for the PC (currently selling for 100 Goozex points or $37 Amazon dollahs). Even if he never loved you enough as a child, he'll adore you now as he goes through the process of owning his own brewery. Mmmmm...beer.
Perhaps your Dad is one of those outdoorsy types who likes to hunt things, and shoot things, and um...fish. Sure, you can get him one of the popular Cabela's hunting and fishing games (available for any console at virtually every price point). Chances are though, if your Dad is a manly outdoorsman he doesn't have much experience playing your typical video games. For the man who feels most comfortable with a deadly weapon in his hands, get him a game with a gun. There are several hunting games that come in bundles with big, ole guns. The aforementioned Cabela's has the Big Game Hunter bundle and Zoo Games offers the Deer Drive bundle. Both come complete with lifelike orange rifles that'll make him feel just like he's creeping through a forest stalking Bambi's mommy.
If your Dad prefers to kill animals of the aquatic variety, Bass Pro Shops offers the Strike bundle and the Wii has
Hooked Again. Both come with lifelike fishing reels to throw and cast. Nothing says, "I love you, man" like animal carnage.
If your Dad is of the ever-popular rabid-sports-fan variety, there are countless games on the market. Of course, you can go with the predictable Madden, MLB, Nascar, etc. games--and if you pick up last year's version you can get it super-cheap. After all, it's the thought that counts, right? Right? Just kidding--you can do better than that, and predictable is so...well, predictable. Surprise him by tapping into his tough guy side with Backbreaker for the PS3. It's got great graphics, lots of opportunities to customize, and one bad-ass looking guy on the cover. Game on! Non-gaming rabid sports fan? Pick up a Louisville Slugger bat for your WiiMote, pop in WiiSports, and stand back (concussions hurt and Daddy don't swing no singles).
Last, but not least, we have the chauvinist-pig Dad. If he has Playboys in the bathrooms, girly posters hanging in the garage, and a wife that yells, "You are such a pig!" on a daily basis--Congratulations, you have a chauvinist-pig Dad. He is going to love Dead or Alive Paradise, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Dead or...screw it. Just get him the whole Dead or Alive collection. Lots of scantily clad girls in bikinis, bouncing around for no explicable reason--who's the favorite now, Susie? If your Dad already has the Dead or Alive series, or if you just want to be all obscure and cool, get him Demolition Girl for the PS2 (not currently available on Amazon, but going for 100 points on Goozex). A shapely woman in a skimpy bikini has managed to get bitten by an alien (space love?) and has been turned into...a 50 foot tall shapely woman in a skimpy bikini. You must hold her back while the citizens are evacuated. (Hold me back, daddy!)
Dads are cool. They teach you about life and fix your broken stuff. Tell your Dad you love him this Father's Day. No, not out loud. With a cool gaming gift that just keeps on giving every time the girls bounce, the bat swings, and the fuzzy forest creatures die from a headshot. Happy Father's Day, Dad!
