I like board games, or games on the internet (I play a lot on king.com when I'm bored). Sometimes if you get me hooked on the ps2 again I'll play Guitar Hero, Petz Cats, or Sonic the Hedgehog.

Cards and board games. DH and I play a lot of Scrabble, but it gets ugly when we play sometimes because we're both out for blood.

And when we have friends in for game night, we'll play Canasta with some Shang-Hai Rummy thrown in for a bit of a change.

Morning AJ, glad to have you for some questions.


Games: I play card and board games, (love euchre and rummy, love Monopoly, headbanz and a bunch of others) but also play FB games (one in particular
) as well as I play on the Wii. ( any of the moving games, meaning sports or Wii Fit, etc..... any that you get physical with )

I used to play on the PS2, but my hands can't handle those types of controllers anymore.

A State of Confusion
I haven't owned a console game since my ColecoVision back in the 80's. It was a competitor with the Atari 2600. Since then, I've played games on the PC. I mostly like to play RPG's. Over the years, I've played things like Bard's Tale, the Wizardry series, the Might and Magic series, Wasteland and the Fallout series, the Ultima series. I've also played all of the Civilization games except for Civ II. Unfortunately, RPG's aren't as common now and first-person shooters tend to rule the PC gaming market. Most of the RPG's now are online and I've learned not to get involved with those again. I spent more time playing Everquest in a given week than I did working my full-time job.

I don't really play board games, I am really into first person shooter games
I used to be into guitar hero too recently, but I got bored of it.

I'm not too much of a gamer, but there are a few I do enjoy. On FB I play Lexulous -- that's the closest I come to addiction. In the TCS Arcade, I enjoy Mahjong Connect, and a few others, if I have time. I have Cribbage and Solitaire on my PDA. Nothing else web based or electronic. I enjoy board games, but haven't had occasion to play any for some time. I know a few card games and can enjoy them -- the only one I really love is Cribbage, but these days I don't have a live partner, so I'm stuck with my PDA -- it's a pretty good app.

Not much of a gamer other than board games and card games. However, I can appreciate some Wii games and I LOVE The Sims.

Board games, card games, console games and PC games...heck we even have old-school pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons regularly at my house.

I think I definitley count as a gamer.

I don't play that many games - I tend to only play a few of certain genre anymore. We have most of the consoles here, old and new.
Of the new ones that I play I like what many call the extreme action type games. The ones that are usually MA rated and ultra violent, and usually hard.
I'm really wanting to play Bayonetta - especially since Hideki Kamiya is behind it.



Being a linux user I don't game on my computer (unless you count emulators) and because I wouldn't do that anyways unless I had a dedicated computer just for it. Gaming is really hard on PCs.


I gave up card games and chess many years ago because no one will play someone who always beats them.

We are a gaming-console family.
I've always found fun adventure games on Nintendo (the Wii now), and also on Xbox 360.

The PS3 annoys me 'cause it turns on every blessed time I touch one of its remotes!
We also have a PSP and two DS's and daughter has a DSi. The only game I play on my MacBook is mahjong.

I loved ColecoVision! We played it so much the controllers wore out. After replacing them three or four times the console eventually stopped working.

After that I never got interested in the newer games. I've played some on line but mostly word games and card games.

This is a great question, good job!


I pretty much like all games, I guess... But only get addicted to a few.


My main addiction is The Sims. All of 'em. Though at the moment, it's the only computer or console game I'm really in to. My previous "loves" were Final Fantasy 9 (I think I'm the only one for whom that is my favorite!), Sonic 3 + Sonic and Knuckles on the Sega Genesis, the original Final Fantasy on the Ninetendo, and Final Fantasy 7.

I loved Mine Sweeper for quite a while! Got down to beating difficult in less than 3 minutes! Then couldn't beat my own time any more and quit.


And I LOVE board games! My family regularly has "game nights" or the bigger "game days". My favorite of all time is Pictionary! Followed closely by Cranium and Taboo. Our newest is Clue, and an old favorite is Settler's of Catan and all its expansions.

Ah... Now I'd much rather play games on my day off than go to work! See what you did??

I love pc games, especially strategy games like farm games. I am such a big kid, I download loads but I go through phases where I will play them for a while and then sometimes I'm not bothered. x
