I love Puzzle type games.
Tomb Raider was a favorite. Lara kept me company on the several boring nights I spemt in BFE North Carolina.
There's one for X-Box called Sphinx I think. I had a good time with that one.
Brothers In Arms was pretty good but I never played it much.
Halo is fun for mindless multiplayer entertianment with friends.
One I never thought I would have really enjoyed is Fight Night, the boxing game for X-Box. Some friends and I were going to try to get together a bunch of people to play and make bets on the fights but that never happened.

The only video games that I liked (and was not too bad at) were Donkey Kong, Robotron, and Frogger. On the computer, I like the solitaire Mah Jongg and Monopoly. I would like Scrabble, but it cheats. Also Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Incredible Machine, but I don't know if those really count as games.

Well the only 'video game' I play at the moment is Yahoo! Chess :smile:, however the best game I've ever played probably has to be Final Fantasy VII - I wasted obscene amounts of time on that game and it was the sole reason why I got a playstation.

Oh, well, of course that is ignoring the games I made a couple of years ago, which are clearly the greatest ever introduced to mankind :-p :-p

Ah, yes WoW is definitely the best MMORPG I've ever played. I have a level 60 troll rogue and a level 41 human mage. I'll start playing again when the expansion comes out, and I get a job to pay for it.

Well the only 'video game' I play at the moment is Yahoo! Chess

One of my favorite online games is RuneScape, it's free and VERY addictive. I also like Alchemy on Yahoo! Alchemy got my through many boring days at school. :approve: :-p

OMG. I forgot about The Incredible Machine. Used to play that as a kid. Now I'm studying engineering/science. Coincidence?

I just remembered another one that I really liked back when I worked on a 386 at the bar--Lemmings! There probably isn't a Mac or Pentium version, though.
