The Best Game that has no Violence

[JEBWrench]

Myst was also a good series.

Ninja'd right through my fanboy heart.

Also: Syberia.

[http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/flowing/]
Runs on any platform that supports Flash and on the iPhone.

There are beefed up versions for the PSP and the PS3.

You're referring to the game where your organism kills other organisms?

I'd say Tetris.

Tetris.

Tetris for the win!

WRONG

Tetris is horribly violent. Innocent blocks, dropped into a pit with no escape, slowly losing chunks of their body to some unseen God. They want to scream in agony, in terror, in despair, but they have no mouths. And even if they did, they will lose it with time. And the all seeing God above, he does not listen. He does not grant them freedom. They will be shown no mercy this day. Another block enters the queue and awaits his final descent to his doom. He has no mouth and he must scream.

Damn straight.

Not only violent, but all that peer pressure:

Myst, Riven, That series is pretty cool.

Portal is also sweet.

 

[Altorin]

Chess /thread

Depends on the version.

I'd say Tetris.

depends on your definition of violence.. tetris is about destruction, systematically destroying blocks.. it's abstract, but it could be called violent (by a real pussy, but I digress).

I thought the sims, but then I remembered you can have people hitting eachother in that game, and dying in horrible accidents.

So... The Sims? the one on the SNES without the natural disasters? that's about all I can think about.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Tetris.

 

[Eleima]

I wanted to say the "Monkey Island" games, but it occurs to me that grog drinking, swearing, swaggering, sword fighting pirates might constitute as "violence", so then my mind jumped to the "Day of the Tentacle", but that has shrink rays, "alien" overlords, animal cruelty (look at that poor kitty turned into a skunk!!) and tentacles used as bowling pins.
Sooo, I'm going to go with Tetris?... Or the Myst series?

Edit: Awesome video, by the way, Catchy Slogan!! Thanks for the chuckles!

Unless you count jumping on the lions as violence, I can see no sane way to answer this question besides BRAID. Seriously, if you haven't played Braid, you are missing out in ways you can't even imagine.

For argument sake, we do count that.

Plus, if you get all of the stars, the princess explodes like a nuclear bomb, that's pretty damn violent.

You're referring to the game where your organism kills other organisms?

Yeah, that's what organisms do.
Games without organisms tend to be... boring. Like, really, really boring.

 

[Proarcher]

The Neverhood!

"Hey Klaymen... say, knock knock."

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

Super Mario without counting with the whole stomping your enemies to death and getting "bigger" on mushrooms.

 

[Latinidiot]

I had one, but I forgot. It'll come back

sorry.
As for the tetris violence:

Perhaps. But you're saying about a game in which the sole purpose is killing as being a game without violence.
