What is your 'guilty pleasure' game?

[smithy1234]

Kirby's Air Ride

 

[TJM8]

Animal Crossing... oh god that hurt just typing it

 

[Asymptote Angel]

Prototype and Mercenaries. Every now and then I'll play StarCraft or WarCraft III with a bunch of cheat codes on, too. It's very cathartic to just annihilate everything.

 

[The Infinite]

Empire Earth when I'm at Nano Age and my opponent is at Medieval Age...

 

[Slash Dementia]

Pokemon and Harvest Moon...

 

[cononking]

On occasion I crank out my old SNES and play Super Soccer. Me and a friend play ridiculous games that end up with scores like 43-39. Great game.

I don't really have "guilty pleasures" when it comes to gaming since I tend to play the "geeky" types (RPGs, sims like Harvest Moon, etc).

I guess the closest thing I can come up with is an old PS game called Theme Hospital.
Nothing like having a bitchy British receptionist/announcer berating sick patients about throwing up in the hallways while trying to cure viscous, blob-type aliens.

My guilty pleasure is Champions Online.
It qualifies as my guilty pleasure because I have an open hatred for MMOs, and yet I can't seem to hate this game at all... in fact... while playing it... I found that I was actually... having fun...

 

[StBishop]

Zoo Tycoon.

all Final Fantasys after grinding to about level 10 levels higher than I need to be to beat the relevant boss.

Easy mode on RTS's.

Pokemon.

 

[baseracer]

Umm, DDR:Supernova is a pretty guilty pleasure

 

[Wyes]

....


Sigh...

Rome: Total war custom battles.

6000 elite archers VS a bunch of peasants... (or something similar)

I dont know why I do it. I just do

The peasants are just so... squishy.

 

[Rakenar]

Yeah, Pokemon is a given.

 

[Cthulu2]

Animal Crossing... oh god that hurt just typing it

Hey! You stole my avatar!

OT: Beautiful Katamari is my guilty pleasure. The bright colours, happy music and overall niceness makes for a refreshing break from all the grime that most games are made of these days.

 

[Beatrix]

Ninja Blade.

There's no such thing as guilty pleasures, just insecure people.

Nah, I think there is such a thing. To me, a guilty pleasure is a game that doesn't hold at all to my usual standards.

Mine must be Call of Duty 4. The story is borderline insipid, the characters are objectionable thugs, the gameplay is, in its simplicity, a spirital successor to Rebel Assault (save for some tactical elements, particularly on the higher diffulty settings) and it goes for the cheap effect every time it can... and dammit, I'm loving any minute of it! It's a game that has nothing to do with what I'm looking for in a game (or, in fact, any other kind of media), but I just keep on coming back.

 

[Gamurga]

hm, probably Pokemon: Puzzle League. I know, I know, it's ridiculous. Please don't hate me for it, but the game is so wonderfully addictive. I mean, you could basically play Tetris Attack (also a wonderful game) in 3D (...and with Pokemon).

 

[C117]

Bleach: Shattered Blade.

I really don't think I need to explain...

 

[Darth Rahu]

Probably Madworld. It's a fun game if you overlook how sort of samey some of the kills are. But when you are able to get away with jamming five signposts through a man's skull, slice his arms off, jamming a porcelain doll head on his already messed up cranium, taking several sticks of dynamite and breaking them into his mouth then slamming his body, end first, onto a giant spike before the dynamite explodes, you know you have a guilty pleasure game.
