I am just curious to see what all games everyone plays if any.

I play World of Warcraft and have for four years now. I resisted for a few years due to the pay per month but it is totally worth it. I used to play the Half-Life games but I am just sucky at first person shooter games.

Consoles..the only one I did well at is Mario Party 4. I also play a bit of Pokemon on the DS.

I grew up on Nintendo, and I am a Nintendo girl...
I have a Wii, I like Mario Party, Guitar Hero, MarioKart. I also have a DS but only a few games. I love Super Mario Bros., MarioKart & I am totally addicted to Animal Crossing for some reason.


I've never gotten into WoW. My brother says it's because I've never played, so that could be true...

I love Pokemon! I have since I was a teen. My husband recently bought me a DSI and a few of the new pokemon games so I've been playing those lately. We also have a Wii and the wii fit, playstation 2 and an old Nintendo 64. My favorite Playstation game is Champions of Noroth. We have Mario Party games for our Wii and also the Nintendo 64.

I mostly just play pokemon though.

PS - Most of Final Fantasy series

Zelda and Mario

PC - Age of Empire and Sims

Since I am from the previous generation, today's games are hard for me to handle.

I play a lot of NES games, as well as SNES.

I do own a ps2 but I really only play Singstar, lol.

On the computer, I play multiplayer Doom2, Blockland (kiddie, but its basically virtual lego) and Sims3.

I wonder if Pokemon will ever die out. I played it with my son on Nintendo Yellow (I think that is what the handheld was called). We watched all the shows and had tons of plush stuffed animals.

Many years later, my daughter is really into it. She can't count money very well but could tell you any attack any Pokemon has.

What I really like about WoW are the puns. One of my favorites was Thomas Kolichio, the cooking trainer.

About 10 years ago I used to play Ultima Online. Played for a couple of years, rather intensely. Then came to realize I was playing it to waste time instead of spend time. Plus I found the gaming community rather rude and ignorant. So I stopped playing. Don't miss it at all.

About the only games I play now are computer games here in the Arcade, and a few of the interactive mystery search games that I buy from time to time.

Is there ANYBODY, and I do mean anybody, that does not have Angry Birds on their phone?

I like most first person shooters and strategy games. CoD and Civ5 ftw!


My cats don't let me play much though.

The only digital game they like is "smack the expensive TV as hard as you can trying to pounce on the mouse cursor and smudge it with your greezy paws".... ugh!

Yep, me. I've never played it, my brother has it on his iPhone, I've never even bothered to look at it to be honest


I like Pokemon games, I'm playing Pokemon White now. I love the Call of Duty series, I have Black Ops and am addicted to it. I tried WoW as all my friends were talking about it, wasn't too appealing for me (I had no idea how to play
) I really want to get a 3DS, it seems amazing, another 3D gadget in the house (we got a new Sony TV
) My brother loves racing games, I've battled him in them, he almost always wins


Jackz, Jazzy & Ginga.

I am one of the few who do NOT have Angry Birds on my cell phone LOL (probably because my phone can't handle it LOL) my boyfriend however LOVES it on his.

A State of Confusion
I convinced my mom to buy me my first computer, and Apple ][e, about 25 years ago. I told her it would help me with my schoolwork, but the reality was that I wanted to play this game I saw at school called "The Bard's Tale." That was a great game and I remember playing it, Wasteland, the early Ultima games, and a few others like Moon Lander. When I moved over to the PC, I started playing Civ, the Myst series, and some of the Might & Magic games. I played every Might and Magic game from 3 to 9

My only foray with the online games was a 3-year period when I played Everquest. I tend to really get into games when I'm playing them. I figured out that I was spending more time playing Everquest than I was at my full-time job, so I finally quit. At least with the single-player games, even if I get really into it, it only lasts for a couple of weeks before I win and get bored with it.

I don't own a console, but I still play games on the PC these days. Some of my recent games have been Fallout New Vegas (I've played the whole series), Dragon Age Origins, and Mass Effect 2.

Whats Angry Birds?

I just suck at FPS. My son is great at them. When Half-Life came out, he beat it before I did.

You're exactly like me! I'm a Nintendo guitar. I grew up on the NES, then SNES, then N64, Gameboy color, DS, Wii, and I still have at least one of each still working. Nintendo knows how to make a good product.

I've played WoW and I loved it, (after I first played Diablo II, I was completely addicted to RPGs) but I really didn't like the monthly payments so I stopped. And I'm a guitar hero nut. I've been involved with music pretty much my entire life, so those rhythm games have always been easy for me. Which guitar hero do you play?

I play (mostly console) video games. My favorites are action-adventure games like the Assassin's Creed franchise (I have also enjoyed the Prince of Persia series and some of the more recent Tomb Raider games). I also like some survival horror games, although I've been known to let them creep me out pretty badly
. (I have a friend with a huuuuge TV plus surround sound, and I don't think I'd enjoy playing Fatal Frame or Silent Hill at his house!)

I know what you mean about the first-person shooter games, Zohdee. They don't come naturally to me, but I have noticed that I get better the more I play.

Has anyone played the Fatal Frame series? Now, that was a console game that I loved. I liked Fatal Frame 2 the best.

I also love the Silent Hill games. Eerie games they are. There was one that I can't remember the name of but it was scary. I asked my son and it was called Siren.

I don't play video games since I don't have a Nintendo or anything like that, but I can play Nintendo games that I have installed on the computer. Sometimes I'll play Mario Bros. 1 & 2, , Tetris, & Pacman, but mostly I play Wheel Of Fortune & Family Feud. I also have card, poker, and word games installed from buying the games on a disc. My favorites are the word games - like Word Yahtzee, Anagrams, & Word Ox. I also like playing Cribbage & Poker - especially Texas Hold' Em. I like the slot machine games, too.

I am also a great Galaga player. I can play that for close to an hour on one quarter.
