      I had this friend who had sailed the Pacific Ocean by himself and climbed several mountains. A very outdoors kind of guy and he decided he would try computer gaming. He put together a badass PC and got a bunch of realistic flight gear like throttles, rudders, badass flight stick, extra touch screens, etc.

      He spent all this time and effort and just could not get into the simulator he built. Computer gaming just wasn’t for him.

          I grew up playing consoles, what console is your current favorite and what genre of games do you like?

              One of the games I really enjoyed from the PS2 was the Shadow of the Colossus. It is an action RPG with almost zero storyline. Other notable mentions are GTA SA, Gran Turismo 3 and Tony Hawk 3.

              I had the GameCube and played RE4 and it was amazing, I think they released it on on the PS2 as well.

              For the WII, I loved Pikmin and Super Mario Galaxy. I used to play in a WII bowling league and it was a lot of fun.

              I was not into the XBox 360 but I was playing on the PC at the time so some shared titles like BioShock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Portal 2, Batman Arkham, Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry all were really good.

              I think a sone of these would probably qualify as massive story games so they may not be your cup of tea.
