I wouldn't consider myself a 'gamer' as such, but I don't mind playing every now and then. I've played through half-life 2, but I got bored with doom3 half way and gave up on it.

Sims2 is fun, you ever played that? I gotta be careful how often I play it... I can get hooked on it for hours at a time. There's just something oh-so cool about being in total control! :twisted:

I play more videogames than computer games (I'm a Nintendo lover), but my favorite comp games are probably the Roller Coaster Tycoon games. My favorite type of game is racing games, so I play Need For Speed on my comp sometimes...although racing games on a system are better because the controls are better in my opinion. Occasionally I play Warcraft III, although I'm terrible at it...and haven't played it in a couple of months. I tried The Sims, but I could never really get into it.

Games have been an escape for me, espeically within the last month and a half. It takes your mind of off things...but I have found out doing that excessively only sweeps the problem under the rug, and not confront it.

I find myself doing that with books...anything I can do to concentrate or think on other things.

I've gamed since I was a child...I'm 25 now, raised during the Atari days.

RPGs are my thing- Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic and the Final Fantasy series.

I used to play Final Fantasy games a lot. I got sucked into the storyline and Id play for like days at a time. It not healthy to play that much. I can't seem to get into games like that anymore though

I have like over 250 games... me, a gamer? no, not at all... :p I play mostly FPS (on PC, like Half-Life 1 & 2, Doom3, Unreal, Serious Sam, etc.) and RPGs (on console, like Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Breath of Fire, etc.)

I guess I became a gamer because I never go out either, so you're not the only one Danfalc :p

Gamer? Dude, you're an addict! :lol:

Serious Sam was a fun game... REALLY fun. I like the fact that it didn't take itself too seriously ('scuse the pun); they concentrated on just making the gameplay fun rather than having it ultra-realistic. That made it a winner in my book.

Another console gamer here, prefered the middle-ground that was the SNES...ahh, zelda, yoshi and mario kart. Also love exploration games like Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid.

Final Fantasy 7 kept me happily addicted for almost a month, what an amazing storyline. And was it just me or did anyone else hear the FF7 theme tunes in their head as they went to bed/woke up? A sure sign of addiction. 8O

I've been playing console & computer games as my main hobby for years and years, but mostly out of lack of imagination for anything else to do :/
I have sooo many console RPGS but am finally finished with that queue.. tried to play Final Fantasy Origins this weekend, which my husband bought ages ago but neither of us played, but just can't see the point to it. Waste of $$$ there. I'm also looking to toss a bunch of PC games as so many are similar to each other and frankly did not play much; might as well cut the clutter.

I suppose I've finally outgrown games, or lost faith in their originality, and will probably only buy Final Fantasy XII (out of habit) and Spore in the next year. I need something more stimulating but not sure what to do :( :(

Oh and I'll probably subscribe to Everquest II (Sigh) so I have something to do when my husband is busy hacking.

yea I love counter strike: source and Half life 2. I think games are a bit of a dilema for me. If Im bored its easy to play a game and then Im not bored...but its not helping my anxiety...i think these games are anti-social and are having a negative effect on my life. Id rather spend time with people than in a computer game...but people trigger my anxiety and games dont...so its a bit of a Catch-22.
