You're limiting yourself with 'good games' for the PS3
What sort of games does he enjoy playing? and how much do you want to spend?

well i am willing to play £40 if it's a generally impressive game.
he likes fps/rpg games usually with a decent story, but equally a fun skating or racing game can go down well - a game that is easy to pick up for half an hour or so without getting too involved.

I'm not all the way through, but I'm enjoying Lost Odyssey on the 360
made by the same people who made some of the final fantasy games.

I would go the Orange Box if he hasn't got it.
Also Farcry 2 and Call Of Duty 4 are good.

Newer games then maybe Killzone but it does get a bit repetative.

Go onto Gamespot and check out the top 10 lists. GTA4 is still the best game ever made if he hasn't got that, although it's not child safe obviously :)

the reason i said ps3 specifically was because it's our newest console and we dont have a lot of games on there yet.
he mostly has games on the 360.

In that case you might want to get him Metal Gear Solid 4
