What I like to play does really depend on my day.Chatting with friends during a match of cod (win or lose) is my usual relax,though without their chat I prefer the combat training since I dont run into any hackers or boosters.
Then I have those days where I don’t want to speak,or be spoken to.You know those days where nothing seems right.Thats when I dust off my Naughty Bear.I don’t think I will ever beat the game,but something about hearing Total Defluffication and seeing little white stuffing makes me laugh.

I read this great article one time about how every game needs to have an easy setting. For those of us with limited time or who want to play a game without the frustration.

I gave up on GT-5 about half way through, because I can’t go any further, and now the game collects dust. This would be a great thing to have an easy setting, so you could enjoy the rest of the game. If your shelling out 60 bucks for half a game that stings!

There games remember!

I’ve gotten soft in my older years it seems. Where once I was slapping down my initials on the top of the boards at the local arcades, now I just play for amusement. Generally that amusement is all about getting lost in a virtual world. I’ve walked for hours around the streets of Venice, Rome Jerusalem. I’ve spent countless hours touring the GTA streets, looking for those little Easter eggs to make me smile; from the neon drenched streets of Vice City, to the wild wide outbacks of San Andreas -- cannot wait for the new one.

Taking a train or carriage ride from civilization to the backside of Mexico in RDR, or just exploring the forests on horseback; the games that allow me to ramp up the action when I decide is more my idea of fun now, not chasing leaderboards or high-scores.

I can’t say I have a favorite game now. If this were the early 2000’s I’d say GTA3 hands-down! But, given the options we have for set-your-own-pace, living, breathing worlds I couldn’t say one over the other.

If I can wander around aimlessly and go for miles in any given direction at the drop of a hat; I’m happy.

I play a lot of different games -- but to be truthful I liked Journey the best, there was something about that game where I was immersed in the visuals and the music and the mood -- the first time I ran into a stranger I was like Thank God and I believe he or she felt the same because we ran at each other across the dunes and fluttered and cajoled and pressed on side by side.

I never knew that persons name but we held each other up and braved weather and danger and I was actually sad that it ended.

I’ll have to go with Burbie here. I play game to relax from the “outside world” Not to die over and over again at the end of a long run. I never been a “great gamer” even thou I’ve started in early 80’s.
One thing I like with the GT series is you don’t have to go for that tough race if you just feel like cruising around.
My favorite series for plain fun is the Lego’s. Fun, entertaining and there is some more difficult puzzle around too. Only platinum I have!

I play games that are fun not frustrating. If a game gets too frustrating to me I will stop and walk away from it because that isn’t what I am playing it to do. I will try to beat an area or level several times, but if it is too difficult for me or especially if it makes me start all over from a long ways back I won’t play it again after awhile.
I love games with difficulty levels, especially those you can change in the heat of battle, Skyrim is one of those games and is my current favorite and probably the best RPG I have ever played. It has everything a game needs, danger, incredible environment, tons of quests and missions to do and with the new content you can even build a house and have a family. I have had a few hard parts here, but I love every minute I spend in Skyrim.
I like platform games and puzzlers like Ratchet and Clank and Quantum Conundrum as well sometimes, and the new one I wrote about Auditorium HD is very relaxing yet hard at times as well. I also loved Journey and the Unfinished Swan.
Nice read as always Strom.

fun read through because it made me think about different games. I had GT2,3 and had friends over playing co-op all the time. I do not curse during game play but I do jaw drop and face wrinkle often. Currently playing the Ratchet & clank HD collection. Some parts are easy and some not so much lol. I don’t throw controllers either because lets be honest.. I would have to go pick it up.. I love games that give you a selection of difficulty for days that you feel the need to choose what fits your mood.
