Video games

Anyone play them?
I personally am a huge fan of Mario!! But actually I don't play that much...

My favorite system to play games is a N64 because of the awesome Mario games.

One of my favorite videogames is Super Smash Bro's Melee. It's so good because of how you can beat your friends.

I don't like video games. They make my head hurt.

I love them and I play them when I can, but I don't own any of my own. My dad doesn't want me to get addicted to them, and I'm the kind of person who would!

My dad doesn't play video games at all because he gets way to into them and he gets all tense and stuff!

I've slightly played Mario.. on the Wii with Jack, and al that... Crash Banackoot... Whatever that is called.

My fav.. THE SIMS! Sims 2 I have hardly played... and Sims 3 isn't out yet... so, THE SIMS AND ALL IT'S EXPANSION PACKS!!! W00T!

I personally like sport games like NBA or Madden , but I don't play them as much as I play them in real life.

Hey has anyone played Halo, and or Force Unleashed?

Force unleashed is an awesome game!

I love Madden games

Mario is so the best!

I am also a pretty big fan of Tycoon games on the PC!

Hahaha that's great!!!! I should try that!!!

It makes the game so much more fun!

I hate it when he does that

I like "Age of Empires II" and it's expansion. I recently had a party where we played just that four six and a half hours! Well, we ate a meal somewhere in there...

Gee, what a great way to waste 6 1/2 hours

This comes from the gal who considers video/computer games useless entertainment. I'd rather be reading a book

Well, it was a time of edification and fellowship (and defeating my friends!). We had a whole lot of fun together!

I've always loved video games since I was as young as I can remember, playing on the Atari 2600 before we even had the original Nintendo.

I still play video games a fair amount, probably close to every day at least for a few minutes. I am fortunate I guess in that I have never been the type to really obsess over a game and clear my schedule just to play it and get addicted or whatever. I usually just play early in the morning if I'm up sooner than I need to be (which happens often, but I find if I play for a half hour before work in the morning I'm a lot more relaxed), or maybe if I have a day off or whatever and my wife is at work or asleep.

Anyway, I love the old school Mario games on the original Nintendo and to a slightly lesser extent on Super Nintendo. I never owned an N64 but when I played Mario 64 it was all well and good but I could never get into that, and I have a Gamecube and Super Mario Sunshine, and I just struggle to really want to play it. I don't know, I guess I just prefer 2D gaming overall.

I also really love the Mega Man series (especially the ones on the old Nintendo ) and the 2D Metroid games (can't get into the 3D ones, either!).

Bionic Commando and Super Mario Bros. 3, both on NES, are probably my alltime favorites.

I used to like the Final Fantasy series and some other RPGs but I find I just don't usually have the patience for long games like that anymore, though I did recently play through Chrono Trigger. On PC I love the Command and Conquer series, it's great. Haven't played the newest couple games because I don't think my PC can handle it. Shame, I really want to play Red Alert 3 especially.

I hear good things about the Age of Empires series... I really need to at least give it a whirl, I'm sure the older ones are dirt cheap by now.

I highly recommend Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings and its expansion The Conquerors. I really enjoy them. Age of Empires 1 is a bit clunky compared to 2, though. The units don't automatically group up into formations. Instead, they just stay semi-grouped and end up all over the map. Age of Empires 1 also had a problem with grouped units in that they tend to trip over each other and just stop moving. So a group sent half-way across the map would end up with four or five units somewhere along the path by themselves...
