Most of us have favorite games we play from time to time or have played over and over again.
What's some of your favorites? And what platform do you play them on, PC, XBox, Playstation 1, 2, 3 etc..?
Why do you enjoy these games?

I'm not a really big fan of RPG games. I mostly prefer the quick fun ones. London, I also enjoy racing games. Doesn't matter what type of vehicle as long as I can crash and burn! LOL  I mostly play games on PS2 but lately, I've gotten hooked on Wild Games

Right now my favorite game to play is Over Lord for Xbox 360. I get to have minions, they kill for me, they steal for me, and the best part… they’ll sacrifice themselves for me. (hehe) 

Well truth be told I'm a very very very big Gamer. My biggest friendships aside from my wife have been forged through intense gaming. I have broken my addictions up into 2 categories Computer, and Console. Currently my favorite computer game is a Modification of the classic diablo 2, called Hell Unleashed. Same concept as original just 100 times harder. The only other games I've been interested in during the past year have been Halo, Halo 2, God Of War, and Star Wars: KOTOR. Yeah I'm nerdy, so what?

rFactor Racing is about the only thing I play now a days.  Even that is a stretch lately.

My daughter and I play some heated games of memory on the floor. We find the floor to be an excellent platform for gaming. Having had such a good time in the 80s and 90s I now have trouble remembering where the horse and clown cards are.

On a more serious note I used to be way into Resident Evil.

Guestures?  I think I saw someone trying to play that with me today.  Oh no wait that was GESTURES.   .  Poor fellow only had one finger on his hand with which to wave with.

I think he just wanted you to know your #1.

30 Minutes a day is not bad at all. At least you're not spending the entire night or day playing the same game as other's do. There's also been a study done that suggests a little gaming wouldn't hurt any of us. It keeps our minds active and can actually in some people help them with their memory. I suppose it depends on the type of game. And with the Wii console, you can get a little exercise as well. 

Okay Nicholas! Spill it! My husband and I are hardcore Diablo 2 players. We've been playing since .08v. What is this and were can we get it??? Also, if you need a rush or want to trade, drop me a line and I'll add you to my friends lists.

We don't really play any other games. You can sometimes catch me on pogo playing mahjong or tumble bees. But that's about it.

Our PS2 blew up so we haven't played any of those games in awhile. But I was addicted to Gex 3 . And my husband was hooked for a while on Grand Turismo 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

And there's no shame in being a R.E. fan Bobby! I got to the point I could run through R.E.2 in 28 minutes on the Nintendo 64.LOL!

My brothers are addicted to Second Life. It's all I can do to get them to talk to me most days. I tried to get in but my old ass computer wouldn't run it. My vid card is too old! So I'll wait untill I upgrade and try again.

I used to like games like Baldur's Gate,  Planescape: Torment, and older games like Dragon Lore.  I also used to love playing the Maniac Mansion series, plus Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog.  In addition to this, strategy games appeal to me, as well - I like playing Checkers, Literati, Reversi, and Pool. 

But nowadays, I prefer not to play any games - not because I dislike them, but because of priorities.  If I have to choose between reading and writing, or playing video games, I prefer the former.  If I tried to do both at once, I would never get my studying done.

It all comes down to how much a game stimulates my mind and forces me to think, really.   

I played with the Wii before.  It was nice to get exercise while having to think a little bit.  Unfortunately, I do not own a Wii personally. 


Sincerely,

You are not alone my computer is old too. I tried to see what Second Life was all about but my dinosaur computer couldn't handle it.
Maybe some day I'll get a new one but with all the bad comments on Vista, I'll wait a while.

The only one on that list I have tried is Runescape. It's actually an "OK" game. The graphics are a little rough. But for a free game, I guess you really can't complain. The tutorial phase is a bit longer, by necessity, then I would have liked. But all in all, I'd give it 3/5 on the "Things to do when you're bored" list. LOL!

I played it for awhile until we got our Diablo2 back up and running. D2 is so much better that I just can't bring myself to go back! It's easy enough to play that my 5 year old has his own off line character. And it requires nothing more than windows 98 to play. It's definetly addictive!
