As opposed to a myriad of RPG suggestions, here suggest some games that either you think the VGC would enjoy or that, knowing his tastes, can't believe he hasnt reviewed yet.
PSX
Project Overkill - tons of levels, nice gore, 4 different characters to choose from, classic SMASH-TV -style controls and easy to get into and play. This was one of my hidden gems for the psone that I think VGC would like (although being able to use the dual analogue would be much, much cooler)
Ninja: Shadow of Darkness - not that he would like the game per se, but that it would be fun to review. A good addition to the "From the makers of Tomb Raider..." set of grade F reviews comes this stinker.
Intelligent Qube - classic psx puzzle game unlike any other
Genesis
Dragon Fury, Dragon's Revenge, & Devilish - Dragon Fury is the genesis version of the great TG-16 pinball game Devil Crush while Dragon's Revenge is it's not-as-good sequel. Devilish is a cool Breakout-style game with a similar fantasy theme
E.S.W.A.T. - strange platformer, hard to review due to nostalgia.
