The Best Game that has no Violence

[DustyDrB]

This excludes sports games.
I've been trying to think of some nonviolent games that were truly great. Most are puzzle-based like World of Goo, but overall I'm coming up empty.

Teach me something, Escapists.

 

[Andantil]

Chess /thread

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Chess /thread

Depends on the version.

I'd say Tetris.

 

[Crowser]

Portal...kinda (just don't get shot)

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Tetris. Despite what Andantil states, chess is actually pretty violent when you think about it.

EDIT: $%#^#!!! What is up with the dang ninja's recently?!

 

[Mothman405]

Portal (Last 2 minutes don't count).

 

[jkvoller]

peggle for the win

 

[Double A]

Uhm... Tetris?

That's literally the only game without violence I have. Even Portal has violence. Hell, even Viva Pinata has violence. And Pokemon.

Also sports games are kinda violent too. But you did say "good" so they would be excluded anyway. Well most of them anyway.

peggle

 

[Uberjoe19]

Braid or Bejeweled 2.
They are just great fun.

 

[Lolth17]

The Sims? You can get through it with no violence if you try.

Barring that, Diner Dash and it's many, many incarnations.

 

[ThatPurpleGuy]

Geometry wars 2..Yes even though your are technically "shooting" its hardly violent in any way.

Would Trials HD be considered a sports game?

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.

I was thinking the same.

Just because you are committing violence on the nonliving doesn't mean it isn't violence.

Beating the shit out of a pillow is violent.

 

[Kollega]

Braid or Bejeweled 2.
They are just great fun.

Braid has you jumping on enemies, so it dosen't really count.

OT: How about Osmos? Unless you count absorbing other cells as violence, of course. But majority of them are just passive blobs floating around in water.

 

[Brad Shepard]

Harvest Moon.

Now its /Trend

 

[Toocoolforranch]

Animal Crossing is actually quite fun

 

[siffty]

[Lim3]

Tetris for the win!
