The video game topic

[Matthias720]

Go on. You know you want to share your inner video game geekiness with everyone. Whether you like console games or computer games, discuss your passion for the electronic arts.

My personal favorites when it comes to computer games are Chex Quest, the Tradewinds series, the Aveyond series, Minecraft, and anything by Nifflas.

Portal and the Phoenix Wright series! And Ghost Trick.

I only play one video game, an online computer game called "Poptropica".  It's a very creative virtual world where you create a character and go on adventures.  Poptropica is both appropriate and challenging for all ages.  I strongly recommend it to anyone with too much time on their hands...which is pretty much anyone who is reading this.  (Come on, let's face it, you're on a literary forum.)  

Poptropica is a really popular site, so most likely everyone knows about it.  To be frank, I just wanted to post about it first.

@Lady S: Portal? Great game. Have you played 2 yet?

My favorite computer games (computer=pretty much all I have myself):
Cyan Worlds's games in general, specifically Uru and the Myst Series.
Crysis (awesomest fts ever, Minecraft.
Was addicted to Runecraft for a couple months at one point, haven't played since.
Strategy games as well, including the awesomest of them all, Civilization III.

Nope I haven't finished it yet. I started but haven't had time to sit down and play through the rest.

Let's see... I'm a big fan of Sid Meier's Civilization series of games. I also play The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity 4, and... does RedwallMUCK count? I think it does. I mean, sure, it's not video per se, but if you think about it, all the text is just pictures (i.e. visual, ergo video) on a screen.

It's electronic, so it counts.

Oh in that case my favorite game is Redwall:Warlords. XD

Actually I'm terrible at the game, I just stick around to admin the place and chat with people.

My favorite games are Final Fantasy 7, The Legend of Zelda; A link to the Past,  Star Fox SNES (or just about any rail shooter, for that matter)

Earlier today, I saw a video of a fan game of redwall which seemed like it would be interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgzsNUvHO5c

Intriguing. Good find, bubba. I think I will look into this in the future.

Lessee, I've played some of the Final Fantasy series and I recall being a diehard Kingdom Hearts fan back in high school. Mario Bros and Donkey Kong will always be the best, though! The original series, not that new 3D stuff they've been putting out for the wii and such.

Man, I'm old.

I'm not old, but  my video games are. But the old ones are more awesome than the new ones. I play Super Mario, Super Smash Bros., and Legend of Zelda.

Good choices! Those are ones I like, as well.
