Georgia I 'm playing Warframe for more than a year and a half. I 'll admit, I 'm kinda addicted to it.
What are you playing?

Steph (angel4492) | 32741 comments I get motion sick playing/watching first-person games, so I tend to stick with old school games like Super Mario Bros.

Don't laugh ... I feel you laughing at me ;)

Nothing wrong with Old School. On occasion, I still play Sonic the Hedgehog. :D

I am currently waiting for the new Fallout game to release (11.10.15). I've replayed 3 (released in 2008) and New Vegas (released in 2010) so many times that I've lost count.

Steph (angel4492) | 32741 comments Thanks Cristina :) I see SO many games I'd love to play - many with a zombie theme, Halo, etc - but I just can't do it. Such a bummer.

I know what you mean Steph about the motion sickness, I used to watch my brother play Warcraft etc and it was dizzyness inducing. Though I did enjoy watching the Carmageddon run em over games. LOL

Belinda | 801 comments Waiting patiently for rise of the tomb raider to come out (10/11/15). I'm considering assassin's creed as the London City-scape looks amazing!!

Nichole | 1199 comments I have been playing WoW on and off for years. Since it came out. Yeah, it's ridiculous, lol. I play for a few months and then take a few months off. I just started my account back up and my husband has to help me figure things out again. We'll see how long it takes before I decide it's too much work.

Steph (angel4492) | 32741 comments I feel silly but nothing I can really do about it. Is a bummer though b/c there are a ton I'd like to play if that wasn't an issue for me.

Saw that Tomb Raider commercial - looks good.


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 9662 comments I can't play any game because I have a little OCD problem. Just ask my husband, I started a game and would not stop until I finished it. Took me days, days that I should have used packing my belonging in boxes because we were moving across the country for work. Not my most stellar moment.

~JustMel~ | 573 comments I'm glad to see I'm not the only gamer/reader!! I too get motion sickness when watching/playing certain games, so I tend to stick to platforms and side scrollers like Mario too. I first noticed this playing one of the old Spyro games (I hated that it made me sick since I really loved that game...). The last game I actually played (and finished) earlier this year was the Nintendo 3DS game Zelda: Majora's Mask. HUGE fan of Zelda... I'm trying to get them all.

Netanella | 152 comments No motion sickness here.

I've been a serious gamer before, but had to give it up when the toddlers realized that the broken controller really doesn't work. So, long RPG games were off the list for a while.

Currently I've been enjoyed mind-numbing arcade games as a way to relax for a bit. My current favorite is an old XBOX game I downloaded called "Peggle". My 9 and 5 year old compete with me.

AC Syndicate is truly lovely. I was giddy the first time I did a Leap of Faith off Big Ben :D

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments I get motion sickness as well. I tried WoW once, I lasted 15 mins before I had to stop. I bought my BIL a PS4 for his birthday when his PS3 broke and as part of his gratefulness he wanted me to do the mystery quests on Assassin's Creed with him. I was so glad to be holding my baby niece because I used her as an excuse to not pay too much attention to the screen.

I'm also an Age of Empires fan. :)

Steph (angel4492) | 32741 comments I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who suffers from motion sickness when watching/playing these games. *phew* :)


message 16: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (last edited Nov 11, 2015 04:39AM) (new)

Sandra | 25913 comments I think the games are just another kind of escapism, just visual as opposed to text. Mind you, at least the outcome is to a certain degree up to you unlike in books.

And yay Ames, another Age of Empires gal :)


message 17: by Literary Ames (new)

Literary Ames (amyorames) | 1854 comments I know it's not quite the same thing but I love playing games on my smartphone. Escape the room games were a recent favourite. I burned through dozens of them a few months ago.

Does anyone play Candy Crush or Angry Birds anymore? I don't. Isn't there an Angry Birds movie coming soon or something? Too late, I think. My love for Pet Rescue Saga has endured, though.

CassieCruel (faith_isola) | 108 comments Dying right now cause the new Fallout is out and I don't yet have a console to play it on!!

I saw a scene where the character is sitting on a ledge high above the city and there's a 360 of the London cityscape and it so detailed and beautiful! I fell in love!

@ Cassie: I bought my games yesterday and am now stuck in melbourne til late tomorrow doing a course for work so the games are sitting there teasing me because I can't play them :'(

CassieCruel (faith_isola) | 108 comments My brother has to wait for the weekend too

I love the game, love most things by the creators!!

Also wanting Tomb Raider


message 22: by Cee (new)

Cee (simplystrange) I'm actually taking a class about video games at Uni right now. Lots to learn and think about and it is making want to play more games.
I like games but, I don't have much experience so, I'm trying to stretch out (although late haha). I just finished Bioshock and Bastion, both of which were so fun.
I was told not to play Bioshock 2 or Infinite but, I'm not sure... I might still take a whack at them.

CassieCruel (faith_isola) | 108 comments Aww the hubby is playing Infinite at the mo
