Just never had an interest in video games. Honestly don't know why.

I used to play videogames. But frankly I just don't get into that since some times now. Total waste of time. I prefer to play the guitar; that is creative.

shooting games are the best .call of duty is my favorate playing online against other people is the best .

I have a PS3, but it’s used far more for Netflix™ instant downloads than for games, and we only have four or so games. I like to play video games with the kid, but they have to be more the tween-age girl type games [hello Little Big Planet ] than the Call of Duty type military stuff, or racing, shooting, or sports games which I would play but . . .
The problem is that games today are so freaking complex and massive. It takes days for the junkies to complete a title, weeks or months for ordinary gamers (and I’ve never finished a modern game - I just can’t get that invested into something like this.) Therefore, Spawn and I often just load up Soul Caliber IV and beat the virtual snot out of each other.

Oh, and you’re an X-fan, as if you weren’t already perfect enough? [Although, honestly I gave up on buying comics circa ‘98, but I still read my collection]

I never really got into video games that much. They can be a huge time-suck, and I already expend too much time on Internet, television and movies. I have played some racing games, and probably will again, but I took down my steering wheel awhile back and haven't gotten it out for some time. The only arcade video game I ever really liked was Alpine Ski, but that was a long time ago. I've never had a console since the Atari 2600 way back when.

If I weren't already hopelessly smitten with you, this post would do the trick.

I haven't played video games since i had my Atari when i was a kid...unless you count my phone.

You should keep in mind, Montreal is where Assassins Creed is/was developed (Ubi-Soft's headquarters is actually right off Saint-Laurent in the Plateau), so no surprises that the whole city would be plastered in advertisements.

Lots of questions so bear with me and a long response. But there is a lot to talk about with video games.

Personally I love video games and I have the capacity to play them for an entire day straight. I think a good analogy for how people can get into a video game is to look at bookworms. Many bookworms and gamers get into their obsessions because it allows an escape for the world. It is also a creative and pleasurable thing to do. Video games allow me to take over a hero and actually live the adventure. In my view better than reading because I have more control over the story and character. Video games do bring a great challenge for those that want it. I love a game that forces me to learn, solve puzzles, react faster, and improve myself as I play them. My favorite Legend of Zelda series is known for puzzle solving, open and vast worlds to explore, and large epic bosses to fight.

My favorite video games are called RPGs, which stands for Role-Playing Games. Often gives the playable character(s) that become stronger as you progress through a storyline. Legend of Zelda games pretty much have the same story; "The hero of legend (Link) must rescue the Princess (Zelda) from an evil wizard." It is a fairytale that I can play through. But other kinds of games include racing, sports, strategy, and pure puzzle games just to name a few. And recently "Non-Games" have been becoming more popular. "Non-Games" include an exercise video game program and Farmville (which is the most popular Facebook game). They can't be won but serve other purposes such as time wasting.

I could list maybe 50-80 games worth playing so I'll just suggest you look at my profile where I list my top 10 favorite video games if you want a list of good ones to learn about.

There are people that take video games incredibly serious. In fact there are some people that make a living being competitive video game players! In South Korea the national sport there is a video game called Star Craft. They in fact have a channel where all they show is people playing the video game. But like with everything, the video game player community has every kind of person in it, some are jerks, some hate video games, some will argue over whether a tactic is considered cheating or not.

As for video game movies... well there haven't been many good ones. In fact they mostly tend to be absolute garbage. When Super Mario Bros. (if you like laughing at corny movies) and Prince of Persia (if you don't mind turning your brain off to watch cool special effects and hot sexy actors) rest at the top end of video game movie adaptations; you can only imagine how bad the lower end is, Bloodrayne, House of the Dead, Doom, etc.

I'm all for a movie adaptation but I just wish they could finally make a good one. I don't mind if they change the story some or characters if the overall movie looked at objectively in cinema is good. If they have to take Legend of Zelda and make Link a Giraffe that spits rainbows but it turns out the movie is actually good I'll be content. Although I don't like it when they take a movie idea and throw in a video game character just to appeal to the market of gamers so that people will see it. It has been done and truly shows no respect for the origins of the idea.

The only games I enjoy these days are ones which can be played quickly and sporadically without major time investment. I used to love immersive games, but who has the time? Between work and hobbies and travel etc., I don't have the hours necessary to blow on games. They can be amazing fun, but I'm too busy.

used to play all the time, now dont really have enough time to devote to playing so i dont play at all, my favorite games were all sports, particularly, NHL and Madden

I'm such a nerd when it comes to video games...right now i'm playing Kingdom Hearts on my nintendo DS...I'm a big fan of the Legend of Zelda too (I played almost all the games they did on many consoles). I wish I will get a Wii for Christmas and the new Mario Galaxy 2...Bref, j'suis nerd.

1. Yeah I'm a gamer and I'm proud of it!
2. I guess my favorite kind would be old 2d fighting games, but I also like puzzle games, RPGs and first person shooters.
3. Fallout new Vegas, for the overall awesomeness of the story and the post-apocaliptic mood. Katamari, because it's the best game to play while high.
4. It really depends. for old games like Mortal Kombat I think it was appropriate to do a movie. And the story actually made sense with the original, I think it was great. But most game based movies like Hitman and Bloodrayne are useless box-office failures.
5. The first one that comes to mind is Super Mario Bros... Also, Street Fighter the movie was a real piece of shit that didn't make any sense with the real story.

i know nothing about them! your curiosity though is so endearing if okay to say. you know that prickly feeling you get when you you overhear some one interesting talking about some random mundane topic?? a girl in Montreal, you must this very minute be watching the Habs/ Bruins (1 to 1, 2nd). right???

it's the small rewards we get through playing (achievements, missions, bonuses, 100%'s, etc), that like any drug or positive reaction, keeps us going for more. That's why falling just short of a goal, will result in endlessly playing it until we reach perfection.
