My son is almost 12, and loved Half-Life (and 2), Portal (and 2) and now has his own server for Minecraft that he, my daughter and all his friends play on.

He also loves Team Fortress (and so does my daughter).

He has an Aperture Science t-shirt, turret figures from Portal that sit on his bookshelf, and several framed posters on his wall from those games.

He was a creeper from MC for Halloween last year. Luckily we have 4 computers in our house and gets good grades because most of his free time is spent playing Minecraft.
