Morrowind might bet too massive of a game for a tyke, but I'd say Fable would be perfect for any age. Although you want used.

Maybe not your "non-geek" 14 year old. I know 13 year olds who have beaten the PC version.
KOTOR would be good too, I know many people over a wide age range who are into this.
If you want to bore him to death or a coma, get him fusion frenzy.
How about a racing game? Those are always non violent?
I'm not sure about pirates of the carribean b/c I never played it, but my home -diggity-dawggggzzzzzzzzzzzzz said it was in the hizzouse and off the hizzook.
BTW whoever said grabbed by the ghoulies, that is NOTa good game for a 14 year old.
To be honest. Halo isn't a bad (bad in that it will corrupt your child) shooter. You shoot aliens in it, and end up having to rely on alien plasma guns anyways, b/c they have a better availability to power ratio. The story line is clean, the gameplay is great.
In mechassault you shoot other robots.
Nba street volume 2 might be handy. Nice arcade style gameplay that anyone can immediately enjoy, and its a platinumh it, so you get the ultra cheap 20$ price tag. It also goes to multiplayer which is always a plus.
You can also aim for an older tony hawk game. Try T.H.U..(Tony Hawk's Underground)
Very cool story create a character, multi etc. Best in its genre.

What was Theif2 rated as? It does have killings in it, but not that much gore, although it does have you needing to clean up blood stains - so that may be too much for you(i'm sure your son would be fine about it though - teenagers hey  ) - but its quite a good xbox game and has a certain 'coolness' to it.
KOTOR is probably looking like a good bet if he or his friends havent played it already.
(and i agree Azurik is not worth it, even as a bargin second hand!)
Pirates of the Caribbean is good, but only if your son likes fairly slow based rpg style games and pirates - Morrowind is in comparison a bit more action orientated(but also more complex), but both offer loads of gaming hours if they are games he'd get into. Both have been known to crash the xbox from time-to-time.
Jet Set Radio is an old game(and came free with the xbox a few years back), but its got a very good feel about it, great music and again a certain 'coolness' factor. It a street skate arcade game, not a sport game so much, not violent either which is a rare thing. It can get pretty tough in places though.
Baldurs Gate - Dark Allience, is a fairly easy(lite) rpg style game and can be fun in a pick-up and play kinda way, should be a cheap second hander by now too.

). And most kids like star wars, so they should like this game. though kids who like action over story might be put off by the game at first.
