Can anyone suggest a couple of fun and interesting games?

Man, am I your source of PC games...
I have two binders full of 'keepers' as I call them. Even thought I have plenty of other games stashed in the closet.
The entire Warcraft/Diablo/Starcraft series are awesome. Diablo may be past your limits, so read some reviews.
Dungeon Keeper I/II are fun games, and should be able to run on XP (they are a bit old).
Sid Meier's: RAILROADS! is a good sim, along with any of the Simcity games.
If he's into roleplaying, you can always to Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale/Dungeon Siege.
The Civilization series may be a bit intensive for a 10-year-old but, then again, I was 10 and handled many of those sims with flying colors.
You could always try The Sims, a first-person spin-off of Simcity. You build houses/lifestyles/etc.
Phew...there's a brief list. Got to gamespot.com for a good list of PC games and reviews.
