Oh yeah. I quit Farmville about a year ago because it felt more like a job than a fun game. I have no idea why they added about 5-6 farms to the original game, it just made it more work than entertaining. I tried Farmville 2 for about a day, but it was just the same thing with a little better...

No, I do not think that any game is worth $60. Is this to say I haven't spent that price? yes, I have. I understand that modern games require an incredible amount of work. A team of fifty could spend two years developing a game. Then there are costs of the soundtracks and other additional fees...

I like Pikachu's lightning powers. I also like Marth's swordplay abilities. But Meta Knight is the best in my view. His powers are so diverse. he has swords, he can fling himself as a drill, he can become a tornado, and he can disappear and reappear somewhere else. My son and I use to play this...

I am old school when it comes to videogames. My generation was the first to have videogames at home, but they were the real simple variety, like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and the like. That is not to say that I don't enjoy modern games. I have moved more into MMORPGs than console games. My son has a...

Emulators go way back! I can remember using them when I first got online in the late 90's. The problem with emulators--at least at that time--was that they were notoriously unreliable. Many were in beta stages at best, and crashed frequently. You couldn't use current console programs (at that...

Exploits and hacks are never going to be stopped. I find it unfair, as I am an honest player in the games I play, and I agree it's annoying, but it is doubtful it will end. I feel the game developers are partly responsible for the idea that you don't need to finish a game, but can take...

Sometimes knock off games can be very good, and some of them I played forever. "Battle Toads" was a Ninja Turtle wannabe, but I put many hours into it. "Dr. Mario" was a rip-off of Tetris, and I still battled friends for years. I even feel Kirby is (although distantly) a steal from Pac-man, but...

Does anyone remember the Super NES game "Primal Rage"? I loved that game. I had never got into the "Street Fighters" games, and although the creatures faced off in a similar way, it was different. This was the first giant monster game I played, and it got me interested in future console games...

I don't remember the exact order, but Crash Bandicoot and Spyro were some of the first. I remember really enjoying the 3D environment on what had been for me, up to that point, 2D. I tried to play Mario 64, before that, but it was too gaudy, and the controller was too much like X-Box for me.

Ultima Online still plays medieval music unless you shut it off. My son just started, and he likes it, as it is new to him (from the game, and hearing it in general). I continue with the 17-year-old game out of nostalgia, but the music is annoying and distracting, especially if I am listening...

Last I knew the average gamer was 30 years old. I believe the number to be accurate, since people 35-45 were the first generation of home console players as children. I don't think many people follow the maturity rating for games, and you are likely to run into kids on any online game you play...

Maybe the problem lies in the fact he got old consoles when something newer was already out? He was pretty small when he got his first console, however. But commercials are geared to kids, and they understand, even at a young age what is being directed at them. I honestly don't see a greater...

Thank you for all the responses. Final Fantasy 7 is one of my all-time favorite games. That airship was a wonderfully done artistic sight. I enjoy the "steampunk" style. I would love to live in this land too. A land that had mythical creatures would be really neat. There are really no end of...

I don't have any experience with the Wii U, but it seems like it was underdeveloped? The issue I see with Nintendo is that they seem too wrapped up in their own franchises. They seem to think that "Mario" and "Zelda" and the like are enough to keep them afloat. Is this true? Do you think...

I remember many games from that console. It was definitely a lot better than the first Nintendo. "Super Mario World" was one of the best. It had all three of the "Super Mario" games together. "Donkey Kong Country" started on this console too. It was the first "good graphics" games I remember...

Although I gave up WoW (for reasons I may have to post about in the future), I have always enjoyed it's environments. I especially like the backdrops. There are many places that I would sometimes take a character and just enjoy the scenery. The characters don't mold quite as well into the game...

My son is nine. He goes through consoles like T.P. I am not rich, so he gets the older consoles first. He had a used X Box and about 40 games given to him all at once. He played them two months before going to something else. The next time around he got a PS2 with a dozen or so games. He played...

I have loved the Wii for a variety of reasons. It was innovative when it drastically changed the controller. Sony even copied the Wiimote to an extent. Part of the reason I bought the console was because of the Mario franchise, and partly because they seemed to be the lead in getting games, and...

For me, the only thing that's appealing about Minecraft is the diversity of the building materials and the flexibility to create almost anything. My son likes to play it as a platform game, but I stick to "Creative" mode. I see Minecraft as more of a program allowing me to build wonderful...

Yes, this is an old-school game, but a classic, and one of my favorites. I remember the game had a timer to let you know how many hours you had played. When I had completed almost everything, I was at 100 hours. By the time I successfully bred a black chocobo I had put in another 100 hours! This...
