Games people play...

Slightly off topic, but I'm curious about what other games everyone loves, since I suspect there's a lot of overlap... (and because if we have one loved game in common this could be a good way to introduce each other to new games we might enjoy just as much.)

Inspired in part by [personal profile] twist_shimmy, since I was up until FIVE AM the other night mainlining her fantastic Oblivion fic.

My list of favorite games is very, very dating. XD

My very favorite game of all time is the Dig, which is an absolutely brilliant LucasArts pointclick adventure from the early 90s. I have residual fondness for most of the Sierra and LucasArts catalog from that generation, but I love the Dig most and best of all things.

My favorite strategy game is Warcraft 2, which is why I still raid in WoW.

The only fandom in which I personally write fic is Prince of Persia, which I still love more than almost anything. I still think Two Thrones was written just for me. <333

I love most of the Bioware catalog: Baldur's Gate(s), Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age, KOTOR(s), DA:O, Mass Effect(s).

I am fond of survival horror as a group activity rather than solo play (because I'm a coward): Silent Hill (2 is my favorite; 2 is almost everyone's favorite), Project Zero/Fatal Frame (I actually love 3 best, though I recognize that 2 is the better game), Resident Evil (2 is my favorite here, too, and I am old and grumpy about it and haaaaaate all of the newer ones).

Wow, I remember the Dig! I was a huge Sierra fan, Quest For Glory is still one of my favorite series of all time.

And I love Prince of Persia. A large part of my love of Finn is that he has That Voice.
