Other Games?
J. M. Pescado:
Pah. You do know that RPGs are a derivative of wargames, which are not at all pacifistic or peaceful, right? I think you're just happier when people die as abstract icons on a tactical map, rather than screaming, bleeding heaps of mangled meat in front of you. Like the saying goes, "Kill one, and it is a tragedy. Kill millions, and it is a statistic."

Well now, I have not seen any abstract icon death in Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing, but you are right, I have an issue with seeing blood and mangled meat, even if it is only pixelated :P
I've never heard that saying before, but it warrants further thought indeed. You are a fountain of information JM.

See, you really need to get used to the entire blood and entrails thing. Once you're used to the idea, it's actually quite viscerally satisfying and enjoyable. Try it sometime: bathe in their blood and wade in their entrails!

Oooh, I love "girl games" LOL. Ya know, the boring point and click adventures.... Longest Journey (NOT BORING!), Syberia, etc. Story games, really. I also loved No One Lives Forever and the Matrix game (which I actually played on a console). I think I'd like Max Payne and Tomb Raider too if I had the time.
No One Lives Forever is good. I just got Contract JACK at some stupid outlet place in Nebraska City (I hate Nebraska City more than Topeka) for $9. You can't beat that with a crowbar.

I like Tropico and its expansion. I don't like Tropico 2 as much.
Adventures like Syberia, TLJ, Myst, are awesome. Which is why it is a huge shame TLJ2 will be an action/adventure.
The NOLF series is brilliant. I want a NOLF3 today.
Max Payne is also very good. I am looking forward to their new game.
GTA:San Andreas can be nice for a little while as well, although I really hate some of the missions.
Prince of Persia is also very good.
And then there are the awesomely addictive history simulations by Paradox: I am now playing Victoria. My Netherlands is kicking the entire world's butt, and the USA are my hunting ground.
