What games do you play too much or not often enough?
When do take the time to play games I love to play Worms3D, Command and Conquer Generals (and ZH), StarCraft and The Battle For Wesnoth (and Bible Dave).

I don't play enough FarCry, Age of Empires II, SimGolf.. but I have a bit of a life .

The games I do play are World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, NFS: Carbon, and an occasional Civ4, Alpha Centauri, Disciples 2, Master of Orion2, or Gal Civ 2 game. waiting for Civ4:Beyond the Sword to come out.

I play World Of Warcraft mostly. I did have a nice 4.5 hr game of Age of Empires 2 a few nights ago, that really brought back memories. I'm going through Half-Life 2 right now too, good game so far. That's it for the PC, but for the XBOX 360 it's all about Gears of War, Crackdown, Saints Row, Superman,...I just can't name 'em all, I've got a bookshelf full of games that I'm playin' there. PS2 is Guitar Hero 1 & 2 and all GTA games (except Vice City Stories, I don't have that one yet)! XBOX is Hulk, Kareoke Revolution (2 different games, same company, don't remember the name difference, great party games though!) and an occasional Spiderman 2 session.

I don't really play games much.

What I'd really like to play are Zoo Tycoon 2 - Zookeeper Collection and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Gold Compilation Pack.

Zookeeper looks fun, scoopin' digital poop and drivin' jeeps! I wonder if the animals ever get out and eat the tourists!

I don't play games much either, but the few that I do play are Medal of Honor (Allied Assault and Rising Sun) and Railroad Tycoon (1, 2, and 3). I generally like combat flight sims and building sim games.

That's somewhat untrue. I can name at least a dozen non-sick/perverted games off the top of my head for Nintendo systems (Star Wars Lego stuff, Excite Truck.. need I go further?), one for Xbox 360 (Pina Pinata or something like that), and three for PC (Zoo Tycoon, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Worms 3D).

Welcome Walkman! Glad to have you. I played Railroad Tycoon 2 but none of the others in the series. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault is one of my favorite games.

Oh man! It's a total blast. My kids love pickin' up the poop. And the Jeeps are one of the big highlights for them (and me). There are bridges and elevated paths, so I have the Jeeps going up really high on a really long track.

They did a really nice job of the animals. Baby, male, females, and the sounds of the animals. It's really cool to hear their sounds.

We had one problem of polar bear babies getting eaten by the grown-ups. That's actually what will happen. Animals may attack people, but I have never seen it happen. Although I tend to keep the animals in their cage. There is a dinosaur pack which I think can wreak havoc if let loose.

I just got an XBOX 360 this week. I've been playing Gears of War, which is amazing. The 360 saved me the trouble of spending hundreds of dollars upgrading one of my PC's to next-gen status. I have Oblivion for the 360, and I plan on playing through the game again, but this time at full frame rate, instead of 10 fps on my laptop with the graphics set to the lowest level. I fired up Halo 2 on the 360, and played a little online multi-player action just for fun. That's good times.

That's an extreme view that shouldn't be shared by Christians in my view. Your stand point borders as far as I'm concerned the attitude extremist Muslim embrace: deny everything the modern society brings. That is not to say we should embrace everything that's popular in the western civilization however jumping in the other extreme is just as bad. I will stop here in an effort to keep this thread flame-war free.

P.S. You should be aware that your words trash the work of so many dedicated Christians that work as programmers and artists in 'modern' game development projects.

Well at the moment there isn't any game I'm interested to play. Being ex-game addict I'm thankful to God that secular game's don't interest me much as they used to, but I usually grab the Bible instead of playing and enjoy reading it because I have the hunger to His word. Thanks to Lord for that, it's not always so but we can pray for that hunger/interest in His word if the game's begin to taste too much.
But next I'll play it's probably going to be some turn based strategy game like battle for westnoth - but this game isn't very good in my opinion, it's just free non-brutal option.

man, YOUR AWESOME!!!

I mostly play a demo motorcycle game, and a simple but REALLY REALLY hard and fun ninja game called N.

when my cousins visit they some times bring there PS2, and I get to play battlefront 2, ghost recon: jungle storm and some times lego star-wars.

Sounds a bit extreme... I mean I understand what you mean to a point, there are many modern games that are extreme... though there also quite a few modern games that aren't.


PC games I play:

Play enough of - Everquest (still love this game)
Don't play enough of =( - Vanguard (play from time to time)
Don't play enough of =( - Disciples 2 (between coding sessions sometimes)


Console games:

Don't play enough of =( - Marble Blast Ultra (from time to time)


Tabletop:

Play enough of - D&D... At GarageGames we have a Friday game night and a group of us play D&D on Friday... we also usually meet up and play on Saturday too.

Play enough of:
Resistance: Fall of Man---the online is like crack, only digital! Plus I got the map-pack a while back--they just also added a feature that, when you use voice chat online, your character's mouth moves so people can use that to create Red VS Blue esque mini movies--we are concepting one but who knows if it will come to reality.

Thrillville (PSP): I love rides. I recently recreated FujiYama, DoDonPa and Thunder Dolphin (all coasters we rode in Japan)in Thrillville--although, honestly, the way the parks are built I had to make some major changes to DoDonPa and some height changes on Thunder Dolphin, I am pretty proud of FujiYama tho that one is pretty accurate LOL! Actually, I have been into 'build and ride roller coaster' games for a while--starting way back with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3--and riding FujiYama gave me a lot more inspiration on how to hype up my art in those games---like tilting the track left and right while going in a up hill motion to create a surfing sensation hehe!

Don't play enough of:

Crush (PSP): I bought it for the Japan trip, and didn't even turn my PSP on the plane! This is because the plane had individual screens for each seat and we could pick unlimited in flight movies or watch tv programming and the like---so I had fun with that instead. I like Crush, a little too puzzly compared to what I thought it would be (I thought it would be 90% platformer and 10% puzzle and it is exactly opposite that) but still very unique and creative.

Pursuit Force (PSP): There was a christian review site up about a year ago that never fully took off---I did a review of the demo of this game for them and loved it so I bought the game the same time I bought Crush. It is like Spy Hunter on steroids---you can actually jump from car to car to catch up to the bad guys and let them have it! They are already doing a sequel that will involve on-the-ground shooting as well so I need to hurry up and beat this one now. But, needless to say, this is one of those reasons I am happy to own a PSP--this game is insane!! It was made by BigBig studios, which is a satellite of Evolution Studios (makers of MotorStorm).

MotorStorm (PS3): I am about 60-70% done but I am having trouble on the level 3 and 4 ticket races---I like this game a lot but sometimes it seems like it was made for ultra hardcore racing fanatics, and I am only a medium racing fanatic LOL!

It's amazing how He can change you and to find out that Bible is better than any game.

Now that I think about this is, it's not as much the game itself you wouldnt want to play, but the filt in the games which you don't want to see, that they put in there.
So I'm looking forward for some Christian games to see how they can be good games without all the brutal violence and lust.

I must differ about your game sellection. Street fighter is plenty perversed. Chung Lee's butt is hanging out in almost every move. They even made a move where she attacks with her butt in one game. Then don't even get me started on some of the other character. That one army girl fights in a bathing suit for crying outload.

Then good games of this day. You could easly play Mario,

Little Big Planet will be out soon for the PS3,

Ratchet and Clank looks to be pretty clean as well. Then there was the Spiral the Dragon games, Old School Sonic was good. Then there are some great raceing games out there. Still my money is on Little Big Planet next year, I really want that game.

So on to the subject of this thread. I play a lot of Risistance right now, and when not playing that, I play mindsweep or spider solitary. I play lots of game demos as well.

SF is not as perverted as The Dead-Or-Alive Series and Soul Caliber Series.I LOVE Street Fighter. Mortal Kombat was good in the early years,but now it sucks. I've played alot of SNK's Early stuff. I LOVE The World Heroes and Fatal Fury Series.Darkstalkers I'm not a total fan of.

Well I can agree with that. I'm just saying there are other games out there you could get at. For me I have children and they want to play, so I'm always on the hunt for something I can let them play. I don't need them growing up thinking they need to be half naked to be successful.

That's like GTA and God of War, they are not on my list for games to be had. God of War incorages and has the player interact in a multi-sex scene. GTA also has some of that if I recall. The GTA 2 I was ok with, but only when I was running over my brother for laughs. We used to love just chacing eachother in town. Ristance was fine with me, but then again blood isn't a big deal here. I bleed dayle with my teeth and drinking blood is something I have no choice about. Just goes along with the desease I have.

Zookeeper is really fun, even though i never play it. you don't actually drive the jeeps, and the animals (especially dinosaurs) do get out and eat people.
