Everybody has those games that they love to play but are a tad embarrassed about. What''s yours?


I've been playing the LEGO Star Wars games. They are such little kids games but the story lines, play action and overall feel of the games are just so fun and addicting! Add to that the sound is amazing for a kid's game!


I also like the ATV Off-Road Fury games. Haven't played 3 but I heard that there is a 4 coming out for PS3. They are not real complicated. It's riding an ATV on all kinds of tracks and/or doing stunts. Kinda simplistic. But the difficulty progresses enough to keep it entertaining but play control is so simple that you feel like a pro after only a few hours of pounding around the tracks.


My REAL retarded one is Big **** Truckers! Reminds me of the older smash 'em up games like Road Rash and Out Run but it's economy based and the economy is difficult to master 'cause you smash 'em up part eats into profits. It's actually quit difficult but if you have a destruction streak in mind, it's a good way to get a fix 'cause you get rewarded for the more destruction you cause.

    OK I will bite,

    I couldn't stand Lego Star Wars; it just didn't play very well for me. I like PC Chess, which is really nerdy...

    i play this ghetto free ware version of risk that always starts off the same because I refuse to pay the 6.95 to upgrade to the full version. anyway... to make it interesting sometimes I try to win from different places even though all my starter pieces are in australia.. eventually you just get bored dominating the world in 13 moves... I doubt real world domination ever gets boring.

    Fusion Frenzy for me. Kind of a kids game, but once I played it I couldnt stop.

    Lots of fun with a few friends and maybe a drink or two. :D

    That and the only reason I've ever played any GTA was solely to run people over and get some lovins from the lovely's walking the streets.

    Oh man, I remember when I had Red Alert on my computer. That was SO much fun! Graphics were bad even then, the gameplay was pretty slow, but I LOVED building up my bases.

    Man, if I could find that CD, I'd install it again! :D
