Question - Is anyone here a gamer?

[Keeper]

Does anyone here play any games online?
Or it doesn't even have to be games online, how about video games?
Just curious to see if we have an avid gamers on CFS who spend their free time on the computer playing a game or two when they are not searching for coupons or freebies.

I personally love Time Management games. I usually download the free trials for games and then uninstall them afterwards once they trail is done.

I also new game called 'New in Town'. Its a lot of fun.
A childhood game of mine that I still play online is Neopets. Laugh if you must, its a guilty pleasure of mine and its actually really addictive. =p

Offline I enjoy playing video games such as Super Mario, Mario Party and well pretty much any Mario games. =p

How about you?

[aly3360]

Not much of a Gamer myself, but my boyfriend is. I swear he spends almost every waking moment on some game or another.

When i'm not looking for freebies or contests I like to spend my extra time reading or watching movies, but when I do decide to play games I tend to go for Time management or Tactics based games.

I played Neopets when I was younger and my nieces play it now. It's a pretty involved world...I can see why it would be addicting

As for offline games I much prefer board games, card games or pen and paper.

[Keeper]

Haha, I have a brother who plays 24/7 as well. =p

Tactic games are great Aly! I love games that make you think and use your head. x)

Haha, Neopets is very addictive. I've tried to quit so many times but I just can't seem to let go.

Board games are a lot of fun. I think my favourite would have to be Monopoly and the Game of Life.
Which ones are your favourite?

[atsirk]

I LOVED neopets as a kid! But no longer play many games online. All of the mario games are great, but I don't take the time to play them very often.

I usually spend a few hours a day playing some games on the Xbox 360 or on my android but not so much on the computer anymore. I just have not been able to find a game that keeps in interested on the computer anymore. For the Xbox, I am usually player MLB/NHL or Call of Duty & Mass Effect games. On the Android I am usually playing adventure games like Woodland Adventures or sometimes games like Solitaire or Poker. The computer games I use to play were like building games like Tycoon games or city building games, hotel building games, etc etc but none recently have come out that I like.

And like @aly3360 and @atsirk I once played neopets day and night when I was younger. I use to make tons of accounts just to go to the pound and adopt all the rare/painted pets haha I was greedy I guess

[Keeper]

Haha, not much as changed on Neopets Jamie in terms of people being greedy.
There are also a lot of cheaters and scammers on the website as well which is unfortunate because it ruins the fun for others.

@atsirk Aww, I know what you mean. I barely have the time now as well but when I do, boy do I ever love playing the older video games.

I wish I had a Super Nintendo. I miss those so much!

[skittlesnbits]

I like playing a lot of the facebook games because they're easy to do between work, or while on hold when dealing with calls.

But I've been mainly a console gamer my whole life it seems. My husband and I even went around collecting retro games and systems for awhile. Right now I'm mainly playing my PS3.

[laurabak3r]

Keeper, you sound like you could be my twin! I am addicted to time management games, downloading trials & uninstalling them, and also mario!
I used to play neopets, and would probably play it again if I remembered haha. I don't have a computer anymore so now I spend my time on my blackberry playing a scrabble-like game called "fightin words"

[Horndogg]

I have just started to play the games on here in the arcade. is that what you meant?

[aly3360]

For those of you who game and like to enter contests there's a site called Game Deal Daily which gives away 4 video games each week on their forum. Some weeks the games are awful, but other weeks they give away some pretty awesome games. I've won before from them so their giveaways are deff open to canada.

I always forget to post their giveaways in the contest section here, but i'll try to remember each week. Here's the link to this weeks giveaway (May 29th - June 3rd)

OMGosh. I tried Halo once,...... I literally didnt know where I was in the game,.......like totally lost..........HAHA I am such a novice when it comes to gaming!

[Keeper]

Haha, aww that's okay Rabbit!
I'm like that all the time when I start playing a game.
My brother was teaching me to play Call of Duty and honestly I was shooting at the ground. xD

Maybe we are long lost twins Laura! I love word games as well!

skittlesnbits: I loved retro games as well. I was in fact thinking about going to the Flea Market and getting a Super Nintendo. :p

Aly: Thank you so much for that link! I'll definitely check it out.

[Keeper]

Whoops, I totally forgot to mention horndogg. I was just talking about any games in general whether its console games, computer games, Facebook games ect.

I actually really love the arcade games on this website as well!
They are so much fun and there is a huge variety, something for everyone!

[Rider_Pride]

I probably game more than I should hehe... If you have a boyfriend/husband gamer that likes action/zombie games the new Lollipop Chainsaw on PS3/360 is quite good (and funny as hell). Play it after the kids go to bed of course (gore, adult humour).

(probably not work safe due to language/violence) Found a Trailer

[markymarkk]

I play all sorts of games online, on my computer, on my cell phone and on my game consoles.

[jduncan8]

I game a lot...way more then I should probably. After I graduated high school I took a year off to work and all I did was work part time and play computer/video games the rest of the time. I mostly played starcraft online and World of Warcraft. Now since I work full time I don't have a lot of free time so usually I just play starcraft occasionally when I can and play my console games like Halo Reach online, Forza4 with the BF.

[Alice22]

I like playing facebook games, because it's very interesting
