If this doesn't impress him, it's your personal fault you didn't help his
parents to educate him correctly.

Well, of course Angry Birds (I love to play it on the toilett!) or maybe
Bounce Evolution and there was something with a barbarian and cool
3D-graphics I cannot find anymore on the ovi-store.

Or unnethack/vultures...

May be you shouldn't forget the punching in case you need a fallback...

Well, with games on N900 it's mainly like games on other platforms.
The best stuff costs money or is probably illegal (games played in
emulators).

Ovi Store has several commercial games, some are free, some costs
money. Many have a "lite" version to trial.

For free games from extras, I like WarMUX, it is an open-source clone
of the famous game Worms. You can play online against other people,
and it has fun sound & graphics and performance is wonderful on N900.
Using the keyboard you can switch weapons easily, it's really very
playable.

Frozen Bubble is also simple and fun, a clone of Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble.

OpenArena is like Quake 3 Arena. It performs well but I find it
extremely difficult to play using the N900's controls.
