I just jump onto a game if it looks cool get bored then jump to another it really annoys me why can't there be a game that will keep me interested for more than 225 hours?
The Need For Speed series. I'm not a big fan of racing and the games are getting worse as they go along, but I just love them so much they're hard to resist.
Sex. Well, okay, not that badly, but to the extent that I did buy X-Blades.
That and any game with RPG elements, or some form of character building. Even if it results in mindless grinding. This has lead me to be somewhat disappointed that the next Castlevania (On XBox 360) seems to be lacking the RPG elements.

I'm definitely going to have to agree with this. :S There have been a lot of times where I will by a game based on its artistic design, games like Knights in the Nightmare or Prince of Persia on 360 are the most recent examples, and I'm glad that both games are far from disappointing.Jetbaby said:
I have a weakness for any kind of games which I would like to call "creative solutions" in which there's more than one way to finish an objective or finish a guy off. Examples of these range from Half Life 2's differently varying weaponry, Dead Space's "tools", Prototype's shapeshifting weaponry, up to my most favorite Bioshock's unlimited potentials of plasmids and tonic combinations.
This is a good one, I was attracted to Assassin's Creed because of this (I realise there's not really that much freedom), and it's the reason I can't wait for AC2Mirroga said:
I guess my weakness in video games is that I'm bad at them. I love video games. I spend a couple hours a day playing them (it used to be about as much playing as working, but that has declined significantly over time). Despite my love of them I'm just not very good at them. Some times its a question of me being bad at the controls at hand, sometimes I just don't grasp certain concepts that I should be getting. I'm just not that good and what that means is that I spend more time on a given game than is necessary. Not that its a huge problem but it means I go through games pretty slowly.
Something with ridiculously high content in it. Examples: Oblivion, Fallout, COD 4 (multiplayer wise), GOW 2 (Horde)
And games created by Ubisoft Montreal. I got the new Prince of Persia just because its a Prince of Persia game. Same with Assassin's Creed.

Shooters. Every Xbox 360 I own (besides Guitar Hero) is in some way a shooter. Yes, I classify (nerdy word) Grand Theft Auto 4 as a shooter, or at least has good shooting elements.
does losing your anger over absurd shots caused by low ping and lag spikes in Call of Duty count? No? Then onto the consoles.
Lego Series games, they always provided me with childish laughters and the puns involved, Until we got to lego Indie. It just DIDNT WORK like Star Wars.
Mario Kart Games, theres always that moment where your 1st place, almost at the line and BAAAAAAAM!!! Turtle shell and you fall back 8 places. After the 3rd time in a row I locked it into a safe in sheer annoyance, only to get it out two hours later and try and convince myself "I can do it this time" .... Not even going to explain what happened next...

1. Pokemon: I own, if my memory is correct, 12 individual pokemon games. And one of these days I plan on going out and getting Platinum and I look forward to the remakes of Gold and Silver. I just can't help myself.
2. Guitar Hero: I know the gameplay doesn't change and that most of the songs aren't my favorites and that Rock Band has more downloadable stuff that I love. But damnit I still am gonna get every game sooner or later. If only I could afford it.

My biggest weakness is... I'm not sure I can say it... Animal Crossing. *Sigh* I'm not sure why but I keep getting pulled into that game every time. Curse you Animal Crossing!
Any nice looking RPG or game I've heard good stuff about. I'm a sucker for an original design, e.g. I cannot put down Okami.
The Philosopher's Stone wasn't that bad; I actually quite enjoyed it.MontyGommo said:
My weakness is a game with a cover that looks like the artist was high on LSD when he drew it. That's how I discovered Psychonauts and Katamari Damacy.
Violence mostly. I have managed to turn violent video games into my frustration dampener. So the more I randomly mow down droves of innocent squishy people the less frustrated I get. Which according to the media is the opposite effect of what games are supposed to do, so I kind of wish I'd be someplace where a news crew trying to pitch that kind of BS would try interviewing me so I could laugh at them.
