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. =^_^=
Wow, one of my friends is currently playing Pathfinder with her Gaming club 😀
I play little kids games. 😛

Lord Of The Rings games
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 like to play board games and card games
i like the game life, scrabble, and any card games
So do I!!! I have an app scrabble!!!! Called words with friends!!! U should check it out!!
I play a lot of card games like solitare and rummy. If I try video games it must be the wii
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…
Kingdom Hearts for the win 🙂
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.
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.
Arkham Horror! Soooo much fun! <3
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.
Cards Against Humanity is the most hilarious and messed up game ever invented! It’s so funny/fun though!
Oooh. I’ll have to look that up!
We love messed up.
Sometimes we get just awful playing Arkham. xD
I love playing Apples to Apples with my friends!
I love card games like Dutch Blitz that’s about speed, or Rook which is about strategy, or Monopoly! I can play it allllll day!!
I love both online games and board games!
Favs are:
Board/card- Dutch blitz, monoply, scataoriges, etc
Online- LOTR, and alot of adventure fantasy games
I Play Dutch Blizt to it is soo much fun!
agreed. dutch blitz is the best!!!!!
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 (:
Those are my two favorite games!
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! 😀
Oh, and Scrabble with my Grandmother. The best! 🙂
My favorite game is Portal 1 and 2 :DD Second would come Minecraft ^_^
I want portal 1 soo bad, but I cant find it anywhere cheap.
I like to play just dance 4 and zumba. On my phone The Sims Freeplay, bejeweled blitz, temple run, and cooking games.
I play Skyrim, sometimes WoW, Sims 3, Age Of Empires 3, Medieval 2 Total War annnnnd I think I’m forgetting some. 😀
Finally someone who plays Skyrim!
I LOVE Skyrim!! I also play Sims 3 and Mass Effect!
Skyrim people! Yay! It’s soooo fun! Wood elves being the best, of course. 🙂 Archer and spy? I think yes!
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.
I started playing video games with my brother. Up to that point we were kinda distant. Do you play Zelda?
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!
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…)
I really like the Nancy Drew games too!
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.
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 😀
The only games I really play that often are card games with my family. Mainly Euchre, Poker, gin rummy, and sevens. 🙂
Try phase 10
I love Dutch blitz anybody heard bout it?
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. 😉
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).
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!
Nice. A friend of mine has just started holding N64 parties 🙂
Ahh that’s epic!! 🙂 I should do that! thanks for the idea…
I like the justdance games and the Mario party games i like rockband and singing games
I love just dance too! I just wish that they would come out with a Christian version, some lyrics are pretty bad…
I personally am a Zelda geek!!!!!!! I get bored with board games.
Another one! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Woot! What’s your (current) favorite?
I like scrabble, scramble, outside games, and snow games!
I like fantasy, adventure, story play designing games, I love the Bible game for the x box……
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! 🙂
I agree that sometimes “some” video games help to relax 🙂
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!
YES! LEGO Starwars II was the first video game I enjoyed 🙂
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.
Yes! Clue & life are awesome! & I can always go for a good game of war or Egyptian war.
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.
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)?
…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”
Same!
I like to get on dress up websites and choose the doll’s outfit, makeup, and overall appearance. It’s fun to customize!
I enjoy RPG’s like Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda and sometimes Final Fantasy games (I’m not the best with their gameplay :/ )
I really like Mario Kart {Wii}.
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…
Minecraft, Sims, and Public are My main, But Minecraft is probably my Favorite!
