Ok gamers, we have all been there. Isn't it funny that we can spend hundreds of hours questing but when the wife asks you to clean up your mess we all sigh in frustration? Sometimes you just want
to lock yourself away and not be disturbed by anything while you immerse
yourself in a game. This list compiles of the top 5 games that cause you to disappear
from the world…
Don’t agree? Add your top 5 to our Facebook page!
5. The Sims
This was originally a gift to guy gamers who could distract
their player 2 by giving them the Sims to play while they played World of
Warcraft… Now it is enjoyed by gamers of both sexes around the world. Will
Wrights virtual dollhouse game was almost never published due to EA and Maxis
thinking it was a dumb idea… That dumb idea turned into a licence to print
money. Whether you want to be an architect, president or super soldier, Sims
has you covered in a game where you control your own virtual family and their hopes
and dreams.
4. Animal Crossing
I don’t even know how to describe this game… You basically
move into a town filled with animals and pay off a mortgage. It’s so much more
in depth than it sounds and the addiction of seeing what’s new every day (yes,
everyday) in the game keeps you hooked long after the gamelust has worn off.
Tom Nook and his furry friends will make you sink a large portion of your life
collecting fish, bugs and furniture to make your animal town life complete.
Pure… Nintendo… Gold…
3. Minecraft
It’s just a lego game right? Wrong! Minecraft will absorb
your soul as you build, create and mine your way from living in a cave to a
mansion built with redstone circuits! The simplistic graphics may drive some
people away but those who look past it will be rewarded with one of the finest
games ever made. Did we mention it was made by one guy in his garage?
2. Skyrim
Fus-roh-duh! This game was almost number one on this list.
Over 400 hours of gameplay make Skyrim Bethesda’s RPG opus. Starting off as a
prisoner heading for the block, you can become whoever you want to be! Like
stealth? Play stealthily and level your rogue abilities… Get bored half way
through? Pick up a new weapon and level that! Expansion packs add to this
already rich standalone title. Spend entire days just making weapons and armour
to sell or explore the vast frozen wastes of Skyrim… The choice is yours!
1. World of Warcraft
16 million people can’t be wrong. Sure Wow has dropped a lot
of subscribers lately, but there’s no denying many a partner has left their gamer
counterpart due to this game. Essentially an infinite game, you are only
limited by your bandwidth in this sprawling MMO. Character classes and quest
lines provide a varied experience every time you start a new toon and player interaction,
while heated, keeps things interesting. I have a feeling this mammoth MMO will
only be outdone by Blizzards upcoming new IP “Titan!”
Until next time gamers, try not to get too addicted to these
great games and remember there are plants to water, pets to feed, and loved
ones to play multiplayer with.
