Good games for people with REALLY short attention spans?

[Lineoutt]

Alright well I'm a bit new to the forums of the Escapist so here goes...

I am ADHD as are a lot of people, because of this and maybe my own crazyness I rarely have the drive to finish a game no matter how much I love it. I finished Portal, Myst, CoD4 and MW2, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and thats about it in my entire lifespan of gaming since I was able to rummage through my cousins garbage and find a Gameboy with sonic on it, which I didnt happen to finish. So yeah, what was I saying? oh wait ok. In any non-linear games I tend to dick around and ignore the plot but I still love em. What games might the people of this lovely blue bordered website have to suggest that are not super long but sweet, or if they are long are they fun to screw around in? (Ive played most of the valve games, lots of fpses and RPGs that are not J, adventure games and pretty much anything else that exists) Xbox360, Steam, or MAC preferred.

Thanks in advance,
Lineoutt

P.S. Dragon age would be awesome if they didnt make you sit down and read crap and make decisions so much
P.P.S Yes, I know my grammar sucks soo bad, but thats just because learning it makes my invisible pet walrus get a cold

Looking back on this I hardly make any sense at all, so if you kinda got what I said here's 100 points, spend them well.

Hmmm, Shadow of the Colossus is somewhat short but it may not be able to hold your attention...

Bayonetta then? It's possible to beat in just 3 hours and it's oh so fun.

Time Splitters.

Any of them, they are quite posibly the greatest games to dick around non with friends or without friends.

I know it has nothing to do with anything you're talking about other than the attention span part, but WarioWare is essentially ADD: The Game. No thread like this would be complete without someone at least mentioning it. Heh.

Lylat Wars (Starfox 64).

Beginning to end in 45minutes, less if you're good, more if you're bad. Multiple routes, plenty of replay value if you get high score addicted. Either fleabay an N64, get it off the Wii store or look for the unspoeakable method on your pc. Best short game around...

Either play Postal 2 (not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach) or Bejeweled 2.

Red Faction Guerilla is pretty much designed just so you can dick about and break down buildings for shits and giggles.

Unreal Tournament 3 is entertaining to play in short bursts against bots, it doesn't need you to give it attention for any length of time to be able to jump into a deathmatch against 31 bloodthirsty bots, makes for a great time killer if you're bored.

Bayonetta's also a good one, it's a relatively short game, can be beaten in under 3 hours if you rush it through and it's an absolute blast to play.

Not sure what else to suggest...

I find anything Sandboxy is good for people like myself who have ADHD.

Crackdown. I beat it in 3 days. Even if you put it down or get bored with the character, you can play as a diffrent character.

You Have to Burn the Rope. I don't care how short your attention span is, chances are you will beat it.

Tower defense.

Or a fighter if you're looking for a commercial game.

Both can be played for short bursts and then tossed aside for a while then come back to.

Call of Duty MW2, its canpaign was about the length of your average 13 year old sugar adict's attention span **Runs for cover**

played it in one sitting yay for fastness

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Castle Crashers it's bright and shiny. Also i gotta go with Bomberman Live its just fun.

Ahahahahahaaa, that game kicks ass

 

[esperandote]

Fighting games

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I'd recommend [PROTOTYPE] thats fun as shit for when you're just dicking about. If you're into a sport pick one of those and set the matches to really short since they're fun. Super Smash Brother's Brawl can be quite fun for crazy and quick fun. Especially with friends. And I super duper omega second Worms from up there.

You do know that is the entire point of RPG's like that? Like, as in it wouldn't be the type of game it is otherwise.

Yeh I realized that after I posted it but I did like DnD with my friends guess its just different atmosphere
