    If all electronic games were unusuable tomorrow, what games will you play?

    I am obsessed with monopoly, it's even one of the first games I downloaded as an app when I first got my ipad . I highly recommend the app too since it's very fun and true to the board game. The only thing I dislike about it is the limit which cuts the game too short as soon as a player hits...

    What is your favorite game from the GTA series?

    Same here. I loved almost everything about GTA Vice City and like you the only complaint I really had was that you died whenever you went into water. It wasn't enough of an annoyance to make me love the game any less though. I just considered it to be one of the challenges of the game.

    Favorite game music

    Final fantasy music is very memorable. It's very well made and of course the repetitiveness has something to do with it too. I'm just happy that it's good music so at least you don't mind hearing it many times over and over.

    Older gamers? Remember when Pong came out?

    My era of games was the 16 bit era but I did get to play some Atari and NES games since my brother kept his consoles and let me play on them. I still had fun with those games even with the newer games at the time even though some of them had terrible graphics and gameplay. I never got to play...

    Retro gaming vs gaming today

    I know what you mean. I grew up in the 16 bit era and even though we had Mortal Kombat it pales in comparison to games nowadays where the violence is way too realistic, and it even bothers me sometimes, I have to admit.

    do you pay for games

    M Same here. I also prefer to just save my money for console games or other things since there is so much free options out there and I only need a few of them to use when waiting or bored. I have found one that I really like recently though and the developers of it are great so I'm choosing to...

    How do you define a retro game?

    Retro means an imitation of recent history, sort of like an homage, so technically old games aren't considered retro, but since it is a widely accepted term I guess it passes. That said, I'd cut it off at around ps2 era for now, personally, and after a few more years the cutoff might reach ps3...

    Parents: Do you follow the rating labels when buying a game for kids?

    I don't have a kid but my 10 year old nephew plays mature rated games all the time. He is very close with his parents though so I'm not too worried since I am confident that he will have guidance and that he knows he can talk to us about anything at any time. I think most games should be okay...

    Would you play games that were designed to help you mentally?

    As long as it's not too blatant and on the nose then I wouldn't have a problem with it. If it is built more as a game instead of having too much of a heavy hand focusing on treatment then I wouldn't mind. I think for something like this to work they really have to come up with something that...

    Best/Worst Video Game Movie Adaptations?

    Street fighter is my favorite video game movie. I never even really saw it as bad even thug I'm fully aware that JVCD has too thick of an accent to be playing an American soldier. I think the part I like most about it is Raul Julia as Bison. I really like his performances and it's really a shame...

    Angry Birds.

    I only played the first one and back then I did get a bit addicted to it. There were a lot less options back then though so nowadays I play other games a lot more. I liked angry birds space too and I got to play that for a while before I totally forgot about this game but I think they are very...

    Android vs ios for game play

    I don't feel that much of a difference in performance as long as the device is good enough to run the games smoothly. I personally prefer playing ios since a lot of my favorite games are on it but if they are available on android too then I wouldn't mind playing on those devices either.

    Do you ever get addicted to games you can not understand why?

    This is very true for me especially when it comes to mobile games. I never was all that fond of cute type of games but somehow when it comes to mobile games I'm okay with it, and I even get addicted to many of them. I suppose it's just the simplicity of it all that really hooks me but still I...

    Have Games taught you anything?

    I am the same way. I never really got too good at any particular game aside from a very chosen few but somehow I still enjoy playing a lot even when sometimes it gets me so frustrated I want to rage quit.

    Retro gaming vs gaming today

    Very true. With the advancement of technology it's hard not to be impressed with the capabilities being put forth. I'm just a bit worried that everyone is focusing too much on realism, personally, but like I said I wouldn't deny that they are still just as fun as older games that were less...

    Warcraft Frozen Throne

    I just remembered that I once played this game. I looked up some gameplay footage on youtube and I was amazed at how I totally forgot that I ever played it because I remember being a bit obsessed with finishing the solo campaign/ story mode. I'm thinking of downloading it again and playing...

    GTA 5!!!

    I'm mostly just curious about the first person view as well. I've seen some footage on youtube but I prefer to just experience it myself. I already have it on ps3 but I'm looking forward to everything that's going to be added on the PC version including mods.

    Do you play Emulator games?

    I played some on my old laptop which unfortunately gave out on me just before Christmas last year. I had so many emulators on there too and I loved to just collect everything from the ones I got to play as a kid and also trying out everything I missed out on such as games on consoles I never had.

    Retro gaming vs gaming today

    My personal favorite era is the years of ps2. I think that was a huge milestone in modern gaming and the amount of experimentation that games had at that time were of the perfect balance of experience and exploration. Although that's not to say that no innovation happens now, and I can also...

    League of legends?

    I don't play this game but I've been checking out some tournament footage on youtube which I find very interesting. I have a bit of trouble understanding where all the damage is coming from since I don't know the characters and their powers, and also team fights look a bit too chaotic for...
