games that rock...(or something like that)

Some of my favs...

Dynasty Warrior 4: Greatness on PS2. Like all things great, I start off hating them, but I've grown to appreciate their value, eventually. You can waste hours on this like I've done. It's so good. I don't have wide array of gaming vocab the cool kids use, but people and more people, you must play this game. It has ninjas and pirates (see the OC). And they fight each other in different scenarios. And you can play for different dynasties. And...it's really cool. And...I don't know how else to convey my love for this game. So...I'll stop now. I'll just add this. It's so good that even Seth was playing it on the OC. That's right. Seth Cohen, undisputed king of emo geeks. And he was playing DW4. What an endorsement. Now you become a believer too. Ok.

Solitaire. Come on! It's a classic. No one can deny how great it is. I've wasted many an hour playing this. It's not easy, though. You need some skills to play this game.

Monopoly. It's a board game, this is, and a totally classic. The best board game ever. Well...one of the best. You can't go wrong with the reds. Get the reds, the railroads, and the iron, and you've got yourself a pretty good start. And put 500 on free parking--you'll have more fun that way.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. I don't care what anybody says, but I love this game. Addictive. So addictive. Plus, you get to see little people running around with their hands between their legs because they need to pee real bad. Or you'll get to see them puke. And they could even drown or die in massive coaster crashes. Much fun to be had.
