I LOVE The Sims 2. I'd say I spend perhaps 7 hours a week playing it.

My kids are into game modding, so we have actually had many discussions around the dinner table about what they have observed on this subject. \n\nHere are a spattering of comments that I have heard them make:\n\nGames today have to have a good storyline. Games used to be all about shooting, racing, - winning. Not now. If the story isn't interesting then it gets boring really fast. \n\nGames have to increase in difficulty just right. If it gets too hard too fast you feel frustrated. If it is too easy you get bored and it won't hold your interest. \n\nYou want some difficulties in reaching the level's/game's objective, but you don't want to experience too much difficulty figuring out how to get there. a few games have you running around in circles for hours without any way of knowing where you are supposed to be heading next. In other words, secret passages are great fun to come across, but if you spend two hours searching the room and still haven't found it that is too much.\n\nThe graphics in games are what can really be exciting because the games are always pushing the envelope of technology right now. The game you got 6 months ago is visibly less sophisticated than the games that just hit the market. The frustrating thing about that is that that envelope pushing usually results in you finding that the graphics card that was cutting edge last year is now so outdated that it won't run all the features of the new games.\n\nMaking gaming a social experience is fun. Bots can be too dumb and predictable. But play against a human opponent and you get unpredictabilty. LAN and internet games give this added dimension to gameplay. LAN is even more fun because you can hear each other as you play. You share the laughter, the shouts of "Ouch! That hurt!", the fun of hinting that the other is 'Gonna get it now", etc. When Dad was a kid, he and his friends would run around in the yard and play pretend shoot'emups, cowboys and Indians. But there was always the argument of "I got you!" - "No you didn't!". When we were younger they came out with laser tag which helped some. Now you can play and really apply strategy, find intrigue in discovering and working through an unknown level, and not have to argue about who scored a point - all rain or shine.\n\nGames, whether educational or just recreational, have built in rewards. Sometimes it is as simple as a mucical tone telling you that you did something right. Other times it is a score that you work on to keep bumping it up or make higher than a friend's. It doesn't have to be tangible like getting to have something arrive in the mail. It just needs to be something you had to work for to earn and have fun doing it.

*Pouncing on this one* In the wide expance of the web are games mainly rpg style (both fantasy and sci-fi including the goth styled vampire: the masquarade)...\n\nA personal fav is the classic MUD (Multi-User Dungeon Game) MOO MUSE MUSH types which use telnet to connect. The usual pc proggie to connect is here http://www.tucows.com/preview/194246\nA general list of them here http://www.ciens.ula.ve/~msanchez/mush-yahoo.html\nImagine worlds, some so in depth that they go on for encredible lengths, where 25-100 people are on at once.\nThe area you are in is meticulously detailed to items weapons, armor, monsters, bartenders ect. There are quests to quest, maidens to rescue, games to play, bars to hang out in and best yet, it is all text based...\nMy pick of that genre is http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&wf=1&view_records=1&MUD+Name=IgorMUD\nTell em Blackwolf says hi...\n;c)\n\nNext there are MPOGs (Multi Player Online Games) Want to own territory, build up your armies, pick from dozens of races, conquer territory from the enemy, use various spells to protect yourself and do harm to others, all the while interacting with the 20 or so others in your kingdom? \nThen mpog's may be for you. A list of everything you might wanna know bout the many that exist here http://www.mpogd.com/ Use the index to search out sci-fi versions where you take planets using your fleet of self designed starships...\nOr my personal pick is http://www.kamikazegames.com/dominion/\nAgain is text based and primarily english spoken but played by people in all countries...

I joined Second Life 5 days ago and so far find it fascinating and fun. I've met nice people, seen some of the most brilliant concepts in online gaming, and have really found it to be an excellent diversion.\n\nMy first day was confusing... I couldn't move.. and you start out in a "Welcome World" where everyone is new and designing their Avatars (characters) in front of you, so that is bizarre.  All these things moving around with changing faces and bodies and clothes..lol.\n\nOnce you navigate out of the Welcome you can search for things like groups to join (they have thousands) or places to go, people to meet, etc.\n\nYou kind of wander around looking at everything at first...till you meet someone who has more experience than you and is willing to help you figure things out.\n\nI joined the Canadians Group, a Nursing group, A Star Wars fan group, etc.  It's is amazing what is available... imagine it..they have it. \n\nIt takes a little getting used to, but once you have logged a few hours, it starts to make sense.  I am not great at gaming to begin with... so walking is a challege for me right now... but the rest is pretty simple to pick up.\n\nThe weirdest stuff I have come across....the whole Pregnancy Thing....your Avatar can be pregnant and have a demanding baby for your efforts.  Also, there are a few nut-job guys walking around with weapons in shopping malls...threatening you, trying to pick a fight,..I ignore them.\n\nIt's worth a try... once you get past 3 or 4 days it all starts to 'Gel'.\n\nGood Luck....

I like very simple, boring games like (Pile-Up) and especially (Shape Shifter). Also Sponge Bob Square Pants Collapse. Told you I was boring!

Warcraft isn't an online RPG, it's online Heroin. I don't even classify it as a game as much as a psycological condition. So I won't rate it as my favorite.. Its more like a compulsion. I think there are subliminal message in that game.. AGHH!\n\nAnywho.. Warcrack aside.. City of Villans is absolutely wonderful. I get to be a bad guy (which I'm not typically), and I get a stronghold. Its great! I really like the class balance in COV/COH. You don't NEED certain classes when you group up. Any combination can be powerful if you know your class.\n\nSo my vote is City of VIllans.
