hmm, id suggest world of goo, maybe the left 4 dead series if it doesnt freak him out too much, but what about the classics? any of the quake games are always worth a pop, same with doom games and any unreal tournament games, you can pick UT3 up for like ÂŁ3 now.

You can pretty much buy him any FPS out there today since my little brother got into FPS around the same age. Just don't introduce him to WoW for his own sake =P.

At his age he would normally prefer an online FPS due to the fact that he can chat while playing which most kids/adults like ...although kids use it more to go "IN your FACE!", but they are just kids :p.

I would Suggest:

Left 4 Dead
Team Fortress 2
Half life 2 Death match
Gary's mod [HL2's mod]

When I was 11 I didn't play ultra violent games. It wasn't allowed. Now even as an adult while I do enjoy the games mentioned above, I also will recommend some other games which are less violent and equally enjoyable.

- Bookworm Adventures 2
- Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
- Dirt 2 (Colin Mcrae)
- Pirates! (he can learn to dance)
- Spore

Ah please. I was playing Doom at age 7 and Duke Nukem 3d at age 10, I turned out just fine.

Team Fortress 2 is a ton of fun though, it would be a good one. Titan Quest is also awesome, and on sale at Steam right now.
