Video games? What's your poison of choice?

[Angela]

Inspired by the "How do you handle stress" thread. One way I handle stress is to dust off my poor ignored ps2 and strike up a nice violent game of Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, or Onimusha. (last gen all the way!) There's just something about watching a beautifully animated character slice his way to victory through impossible odds.

Though in my older age, I've found myself playing games like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame more than action rpgs. I've just started to plain suck at action for some reason. I think it's my shortening attention span. Plus there's something thrilling about searching through an abandoned house waiting for the next boogie to jump out. I also love the imagery of these games, which is really quite lovely and disturbing all at once. Fatal Frame and Silent Hill also have wonderfully written stories that keep me playing just to solve the mystery.

Bah who says violent video games are corrupting America's youth. I came out just fine I think:P

Wow, I have tons of games I love XD MGS3, Jak series, Sly Cooper Series, Final fantasy 7, 9 and 10, Dark Cloud series, Sim Theme Park- I'm an all round gamer (yes, even WoW)

Well whem I'm depressed/stressed I tend to play puzzle games (Sudoku, Mindsweeper, Tetris, etc).

If I feel confident and want to really test my reflexes I play any variety first person shooter. I really dislike playing Halo most the time, as most online players have no creativity when playing. It's always the same things to get them to win.

Another game I really enjoy is Animal Crossing.

[Kaiyuga]

Oh God, not Animal Crossing! D: It's like Harvest Moon- it never ends! XD

[Jade]

Oh yeah, you're fine... ;-)

Let's see, my favourite game for stress relief is called "go down to the rough part of town and see if you can get someone to try to mug you..."

Wait, sorry, you said video. Nevermind.

[Timothy Aaron Ammons]

If you wore that sweater over your shoulders a la your one stock photo (you know the one) I'm sure getting mugged wouldn't be hard at all!

[Angela]

O_o have you REALLY done that?

And I know you're a kooky puzzle game man. I remember your Portfolio on PortalsXD

[Jade]

Not to mention Candy Land! (Don't mess with King Candy)

[Wallace Fajardo]

An episode that only really happened cause I kept whining for him to do it. Jade has yet to play Portal, sadly. Or even watch someone play Portal for that matter.

[Jade]

Come on! Does one really have to PLAY Portal when one has a portal in one's libary?

Games.. how I love a bit of animated violence in the morning.
I play a bit of everything.
PC- Witcher, Assasins Creed
PS2- Final Fantasy., Psychonauts (
Wii- Raving rabbits, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I likes the games.
Oh and tetris. You can't beat that.

[Angela]

Indeed! You just can't beat the classics. I still have tetris on my cell phoneXD I think of it when I pack my car up for trips.

Bah I want a ps3 to play Assassin's Creed SO bad. It looks like such a neat game. I've been drooling over the videos (and laughing at the many glitches).
