Playing Games

I’m not one to play much in the way of games on my computer – though I know many people do, I “allow” myself a few minutes playing Spider Solitaire only, and then get back to work. I can do this when I have some sort of “writer’s block” and it works for me.

Work always beckons me, and I have so much to do that I can’t allow myself to spend much time on games – or television, although I do make time to watch some shows that are special to me. I like some Quiz shows – 1 vs 100 is a favourite, but there are others that are very popular including Deal or No Deal

Oblivion is the latest RPG game in the Elder Scrolls series. The previous game, Marrowind was highly acclaimed, so the expectations for Oblivion were HUGE and it definitely delivered the goods.

When I first started up the game the thing that struck me the most was the vast choices in character building. Not only do you have 10 races to choose from, but you also can alter the face of your character using sliders for areas such as chin, cheek bones, nose length, eye depth, etc. You can even choose the age of your character! You can pretty much make your character look however you want with the only limitation being your imagination. If customizing looks isn't your thing, they also offer a handy dandy randomize feature and I noted that those options were good too.

Fable: The Lost Chapters is a RPG game about a boy on a quest for revenge for the death of his family. The game starts out before his village was ransacked with a basic tutorial teaching you how to accept quests and perform them. Then after the village is destroyed it takes the boy to a hero academy where he learns the basics of combat before sending him out into the world to defeat his enemies. After this you have to decide what kind of character you want your hero to be, do you want him to be a caster, fighter or stealthy hero, and do you want him to be good or evil. The main thing this game touts is that as your hero ages his appearance will change based on his alignment. Good heroes will walk around with a halo over their head and butterflies flying around their face, while bad hero’s will walk around with horns growing out of their head, a long slinky tail, and billowing smoke trailing behind them.

I was a huge fan of The Sims 1, but The Sims 2 took me completely by surprise. The first time I loaded up the game and started the tutorial I looked down on that little tutorial couple talking to each other and using hand gestures and I thought to myself, “WOW!!!�? It’s like they’re real little people down there! But after a year or so of playing the game to you begin to ‘figure it out’. You know that every time they have conversations they use pretty much the same hand gestures based on the personality points they’re created with. You know that they are designed to do what they do, and you’ve learned how to design them so that they exhibit certain characteristics. The “WOW!!�? factor is long gone. You still think it’s fun of course otherwise you wouldn’t buy every expansion that comes out, but the challenge and mystique of it all is now just a fond memory.

Hi Everyone! My name is Aria, and I play games. Computer games to be specific. Yes, I am an addict. I think it all started way back when playing Super Mario Brothers on my brother’s Nintendo, and since then it has graduated to me being a full fledged gaming fanatic. At the moment I only play PC games, but who knows what the future holds for me and my gaming exploits. Someday I may actually splurge for an x-box or whatever the munchkins are playing now-a-days.
