I thought I'd just mention a few of the games I'm currently playing. Surprisingly, the majority of my game-playing is on my iPod recently. In no meaningful order, here they are:
Ninja Fishing
This game is great to kill a few minutes at a time. The kids loved to play it too. Simple to play, fun, the art style is great. I definitely got my dollar's worth out of the game.
CityVille Hometown
Ah, CityVille. I successfully quit playing the Facebook version of the game. The relentless spamming to add friends, buy energy, etc. was too much to enjoy. The iOS app is much more enjoyable. It's a shorter experience, for sure. I wish I could just buy the game in order to get more energy at my disposal, but at least I'm not hit over the head with being asked to buy more. And I spend some time on this one every day, so it can't be too bad.
Doodle God
I wish I could tell you why I love this game so much. It is literally nothing more than tapping two icons to mix them together to make something new. But the combinations are fun, the pacing is great, and I think it just completes some happy part of my OCD-ness that makes me want to find all those combinations.
Ascension
I love the physical card game of Ascension, and this is a decent port of the game to the iOS system. It definitely could use wifi multiplayer, especially given how much it costs, but I'll play a couple games before going to bed at night.
Tomb Raider Legend
Xbox 360.
I made a goal to play through some of my unplayed games before buying any new ones. And I have a lot of unplayed games. I tried Resident Evil 5 for about an hour and gave up. Then I pulled this one out of the pile. There are definitely a few things I have problems with, but I'm really having fun playing this.
Funny side note: I used to have Tomb Raider dreams back when the first one came out. Now, most guys, saying they have Tomb Raider dreams probably means dreams about intimate explorations with Lara. My dreams were nothing like that. Really! I had dreams that my entire world was divided up into 10x10 grids, I would walk 2 strides per grid, it was all about how the space was built. Sigh.
Red Dead Redemption
Xbox 360.
I do love this game, but I've started it about 3 times and never finished. I get distracted just riding the horse around (which is funny, because that is one of my least favorite things to do in real life). When I would get a few spare moments at work, I would occasionally fire this up and do a mission or two.
But... my save file is at my old work, on a different gamertag. So if I want to continue, I'll have to start over. Again. For any other game I probably wouldn't bother, but I doubt I'll be able to resist the lure of the Old West much longer!
