Minecraft, Sims, and Public are My main, But Minecraft is probably my Favorite!
Posted by kittenlover13 on July 23, 2014 at 10:17
I’m pretty sure I’m the only girl who does, but I really like Call of Duty Black Ops. Minecraft is pretty close behind it though…
Posted by Sydney_Andrews on October 28, 2013 at 09:18
I really like Mario Kart {Wii}.

I enjoy RPG’s like Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda and sometimes Final Fantasy games (I’m not the best with their gameplay :/ )

I like to get on dress up websites and choose the doll’s outfit, makeup, and overall appearance. It’s fun to customize!

…Minecraft 🙂 That’s generally it. But when I play board games I like to play Apples to Apples, Quelf, and “We Didn’t Play test This at All”
Posted by ConfettiCakepop on June 7, 2018 at 10:53
Same!

What?! How can nobody have said Ticket to Ride (& all its sequels) TTR is basically the best board game ever. Seven Wonders is also pretty fun. Ooo, I also love a French game called Carcassone, you build a map with tiles & claim territory.
Pictionary Cars Game & Flux are fast fun games. 13 is a great game if you have just a deck of cards on hand.
My family plays board games a lot. We’re super competitive, tears & shouting are all part of a game night, but it’s all in good fun.
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:27
Ooh, Carcassone sounds fun 🙂 13… is that like 3/13 (you start with 3 cards and every new round you add a card ’till you reach 13)?

I’m not really a ‘gamer’ although I really like board games such as Life, Settlers of Catan, and Clue, and some not-quite-board games like Apples to Apples, and some card games like War, Shanghai rum, Baseball, and Kings in a Corner. I’m sure there are some games I’m forgetting, but that’s about it.
Posted by GigiJR on March 18, 2013 at 22:21
Yes! Clue & life are awesome! & I can always go for a good game of war or Egyptian war.
Posted by RachelMeeko on March 16, 2013 at 12:07
I love to play pounce (similar to Dutch Blitz, but more complicated and fun with a normal deck of cards per person) with my family (other families and friends just don’t take games seriously enough;) Playing LEGO games on the Wii is super fun with my brother! I love playing LEGO Lord of the Rings, LEGO Indiana Jones, and LEGO Star Wars!
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:25
YES! LEGO Starwars II was the first video game I enjoyed 🙂
Posted by pipo_star on March 16, 2013 at 09:25
I agree that sometimes “some” video games help to relax 🙂
Posted by pinkopal100 on March 16, 2013 at 06:37
I wouldn’t call myself a gamer because the only game I really play is Minecraft, but I love playing minecraft with my older brother! 🙂
Posted by Guarded by Angels on March 15, 2013 at 17:05
I like fantasy, adventure, story play designing games, I love the Bible game for the x box……
Posted by Sarah girl on March 15, 2013 at 14:05
I like scrabble, scramble, outside games, and snow games!
Posted by hlaluvzjesus on March 15, 2013 at 13:52
I personally am a Zelda geek!!!!!!! I get bored with board games.
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:24
Woot! What’s your (current) favorite?
Posted by Marianna on March 15, 2013 at 18:07
Another one! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Posted by kelseesmithlovesjesus on March 15, 2013 at 13:35
I like the justdance games and the Mario party games i like rockband and singing games
Posted by Guarded by Angels on March 15, 2013 at 17:06
I love just dance too! I just wish that they would come out with a Christian version, some lyrics are pretty bad…
Posted by onlinegal101 on March 15, 2013 at 08:22
I’m a Mario girl ALL the way! I like adventure games a lot too! I think the best console ever was the Nintendo 64 ^_^ Still have it at my house!
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:23
Nice. A friend of mine has just started holding N64 parties 🙂
Posted by onlinegal101 on July 24, 2013 at 08:36
Ahh that’s epic!! 🙂 I should do that! thanks for the idea…
Posted by Remedy on March 14, 2013 at 19:21
I’m all into online games…some which are not very appropriate for this site since they are shooting games, haha. But I also love video games and card games (that was my childhood).
Posted by jinglebells on March 14, 2013 at 15:36
I love Dutch blitz anybody heard bout it?
Posted by Arathay on March 14, 2013 at 16:21
Prolly one of my favorite card games! I just have to be careful who I play with. My family is super competitive and blood has been drawn before. 😉
Posted by jesslt on March 14, 2013 at 14:23
The only games I really play that often are card games with my family. Mainly Euchre, Poker, gin rummy, and sevens. 🙂
Posted by Guarded by Angels on March 15, 2013 at 17:07
Try phase 10
Posted by Marianna on March 14, 2013 at 12:26
The Legend of Zelda series, particularly A Link To The Past, Spirit Tracks, and Phantom Hourglass. The Professor Layton series is also AMAZING, it’s a puzzle solving game that has good storylines, but beware, most of them will probably make you cry at the end.
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:16
FINAALY! It took me SO long to find a Zelda comment. I had thought it would be far easier 😛 My current fav is Wind Waker 😀
Posted by lilyworshipsongs on March 14, 2013 at 11:27
I like the finding games where you basically look for a certain abject and try to solve the mystery…(like the nancy drew video games ^^) then after that, basically anything except word games…xD (other than book worm…book worm is fun sometimes…depending on the version…)
Posted by vanilla on March 14, 2013 at 15:32
I really like the Nancy Drew games too!
Posted by JennArman on March 14, 2013 at 11:11
I love games! Any kind of system (video games, board games, online, etc.) any type. It doesn’t matter if I’m alone or playing with others. I like them all!
Posted by girlsonly97 on March 14, 2013 at 10:31
Im a gamer so of course i play video games. I think the reason I started playing video games was because my parents were to busy to play with me. so I started playing video games. by myself and found out there’s a whole bunch of worlds were I can escape and become someone else.
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:13
I started playing video games with my brother. Up to that point we were kinda distant. Do you play Zelda?
Posted by beegirl4him on March 14, 2013 at 07:58
I play Skyrim, sometimes WoW, Sims 3, Age Of Empires 3, Medieval 2 Total War annnnnd I think I’m forgetting some. 😀
Posted by Arathay on March 14, 2013 at 16:20
Skyrim people! Yay! It’s soooo fun! Wood elves being the best, of course. 🙂 Archer and spy? I think yes!
Posted by JennArman on March 14, 2013 at 11:12
I LOVE Skyrim!! I also play Sims 3 and Mass Effect!
Posted by girlsonly97 on March 14, 2013 at 10:21

Posted by kara719 on March 14, 2013 at 07:28

Posted by ruthie27064Him on March 13, 2013 at 21:49
I love playing video games with my siblings – we always have so much fun! And then I like playing board games and such with my small group – those kids are awesome! 😀
Posted by ruthie27064Him on March 13, 2013 at 21:49
Oh, and Scrabble with my Grandmother. The best! 🙂
Posted by MeishaH on March 13, 2013 at 21:05
One of my all-time favorite games is Catch Phrase. I love playing it with a big group of people. I also really like Apples to Apples (:

Posted by brennaeskyler2 on March 13, 2013 at 15:28
I love playing Apples to Apples with my friends!
Posted by SlinkyKitty88 on March 13, 2013 at 14:34
I currently play two games regularly. The Old Republic (An MMORPG), and Arkham Horror, a cooperative board game.
Around Christmas, all the in-laws get together, and we play a lot of card games (Oh Hell being the favorite).
My brother-in-law is the one who got us into Arkham Horror. He also brought over Civilizations, and that was fun.
Posted by Eurydice on March 13, 2013 at 22:02
My boyfriend bought Cards Against Humanity a while ago, but we have yet to find enough people to play it with since our friends have such conflicting schedules. >__< It's like Apples to Apples but with more…"interesting" options for cards.
Posted by SlinkyKitty88 on March 19, 2013 at 00:15
Oooh. I’ll have to look that up!
We love messed up.
Sometimes we get just awful playing Arkham. xD
Posted by Remedy on March 14, 2013 at 19:21
Cards Against Humanity is the most hilarious and messed up game ever invented! It’s so funny/fun though!
Posted by Eurydice on March 13, 2013 at 19:41
Arkham Horror! Soooo much fun! <3
Posted by vanilla on March 13, 2013 at 14:30
I LOVE board games. I don’t have as much time to play them any more, but when I was younger my dad and I would play them all the time. I recently learned how to play chess, which is fun. I think my all-time favorite game has to be Scrabble though. One of my friends made up a game spur-of-the-moment, and I love playing that one too.
Posted by Dee on March 13, 2013 at 13:56
Well… I’m kinda into a variety of games. Everything from girly/sleepover games like MASH and telephone and a lot of charades-type-but-not-quite games (like where someone tells two or three people to act like they’re doing on thing, when the audience knows that they’re technically supposed to be doing something else, like sitting on the toilet), to chess, to Kingdom Hearts, to online writing RPGs, to word searches and puzzles. The only games I dislike playing are scrabble-type games. I dislike scrabble or Bananagrams or words with friends. And… I couldn’t vote for two on the who do you like to play with, but I prefer playing by myself about half the time so…
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:11
Kingdom Hearts for the win 🙂
Posted by Peacegurl1960 on March 13, 2013 at 13:33
I play a lot of card games like solitare and rummy. If I try video games it must be the wii
Posted by unicorns4567 on March 13, 2013 at 12:18
i like the game life, scrabble, and any card games
Posted by Sarah girl on March 15, 2013 at 14:03
So do I!!! I have an app scrabble!!!! Called words with friends!!! U should check it out!!
Posted by unicorns4567 on March 13, 2013 at 12:16

Posted by misstake on March 13, 2013 at 12:04
Online I like to play cooking games, like Cake Mania, or Burger Island. Also Dress up games at Roiworld are bomb! And Chibi Maker!

I play little kids games. 😛
Posted by Eurydice on March 13, 2013 at 08:43
Technically, the games I play are a combination of Adventure/Fantasy AND Performance. I play tabletop RP games with friends, and I absolutely love it. My boyfriend just started a weekly campaign of Pathfinder, and our friends come to our apartment to play every Thursday. =^_^=
Posted by No More Tears for the Awakened on April 17, 2013 at 16:10
Wow, one of my friends is currently playing Pathfinder with her Gaming club 😀
