I have a bit of a sordid love affair with console games and my pc! (Which sadly keeps me on my butt way too much!) I was just curious who else suffers from the same affliction as I do! =)


Name your favorite poison (game) and discuss!


I'm currently a big fan of my wii fit, ps3, and my computer!
~Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
~Fallout: New Vegas
~WoW
~Starcraft
(Among many others!)

    Red Dead Redemption had me on my butt for a while there. Pretty cool game. I was also a huge fan of the GTA series. I only tend to play like 1 or 2 games a year and get really into them. Any more than that and I'd have to start calling out of work or something.

    The God of War series was also excellent

    I love my Wii for active games. Unfortunately my husband and I both play World of Warcraft, so I really have to watch how much time I spend playing on the computer when I have a little free time!

    Mass Effect
    Just started:
    Borderlands
    Dragon Age Origins
    Halo: Reach
    Black Ops

    On all of the games I just started, I have barely begun the campaigns and I really really want to finish all of them...
    I quit playing Eve Online and Warhammer last year dammit!

    I just don't have enough time..I cannot stay up late at night and play like I used to. So now I'm cutting out gaming so I can give my treadmill some loving attention, it's very sad.
    My motto is: too many games so little time.

    OH, and I am going to get Dead Space 2..even though...I can't play it for awhile...UGH

    I've been playing Saints Row 2 on the PS3 lately. It's violent fun. I can sit there and play for hours and hours.

    Sometimes I'll play while I ride the stationary bike but since I have the coordination of a blind lab rat it gets tricky trying to focus on sitting upright, pedaling, and mashing the numerous buttons on the remote.

    I love WoW, but luckily for my weight-loss, I'm taking a break from it for a few months. I play a lot of CoD too.

    Were we separated at birth?

    I'm not allowed to do that...I'm a SAHM, my husband would be irate and rightly so. But seriously, once my new baby gets some independence...wow, I'm going into a gaming coma!

    Yes, I realize that. I hate zombies and I preferred the campaign and maps of MW MUCH more. ITA. But I had to at least play it to know myself. One of my dumbass gaming buddies lied to me and denied the difference in gaming houses when I declared to boycott the Treyarch! I'm an idiot for listening to him lol.

    Dragon Age: Origins. I'm super excited/terrified for Dragon Age II to come out. We pre-ordered it. I will have a hard time getting out of the house once it arrives.

    My other favorites include:

    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
    Fable
    Jade Empire
    Morrowind
    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

    My husband's the gamer in this house. I only play Little Big Planet.

    But I do agree that Red Dead Redemption and the Uncharted games are awesome. I ended up swiveling in my chair to WATCH him play them. Better than some movies I've seen!

    If I actually ever find spare time I have always been a fan of Call of Duty (all of them - usually as Sumo, Sumo813, or Sumo675 - cant remember which since it's been so long since I've logged in). I can't tell you how much having CoD helped me get through a bad work day. I've always been a longtime member of City of Heroes/Villans (@TALUS) and within the past year got into Aion (Lojinter) and TRON: Evolution. A former legion mate from Aion is trying to talk me into Rift. But haven't had the time to get in on the beta weekends. :(

    I don't do the console games, but since I have my niece's XBOX Kinect at my place, I am probably going to get some of the fitness games for it and give it a try. At least that way I will be moving around while gaming. lol

    I played some black ops for a bit, but like most PS3 games, it gets old after a month.

    Lately I've been playing the new DC universe. It's alright, but already see myself getting bored. Plenty to do, but not enough interaction with other players. I have been playing the beta of Rift. It's alright, but no different than anything else out there. One of these days, The new Star Wars MMO will drop and I'll be happy....until then....I'll meet ya at the gym!
