Dr. Orzack sees similarities between MMO addiction and more traditional behavior disorders such as compulsive gambling.

Just wait til the DSM V comes out, then yer all screwed.

Trauma Center: So far this is amazing. I can see it getting boring super fast, though.
Brain Age: WTF? This is awesome. I definitely DON'T use my brain ever, because after playing this for like 30 minutes I started to get a bit manic. It was like drugs for my BRAIN, MAN.
Big Brain Academy: Eh, didn't like it as much as Age.
the first castlevania: actually only looked at the intro screen.
Cooking Mama: yet to even put it in the machine.
New super Mario Bros: You know, I'll say it... not blown away. My friend puts it as his fave SMB game of all time... and Yoshi's Island second. I think they both rank at (or near) the bottom of my list. SMB3 first, SMW1 second, SMBLL third, SMB2, SMB1, Yoshi, this game. But I'm only on world 2, so what do I know.

And the Fire Emblem ones, too, just for good measure.

The other one was Zelda, and it completely rules.

Seriously, it's pretty fun.

Elebits, as noted above, is awesome; ransacking a house looking for little parasites and zapping them with your ghostbuster gun is more fun than I could've predicted.

My guy's score is at 2048 on tennis. I assumed it stopped at 2000, but that's not the case; you just keep going over the top of the chart. The game doesn't get harder though; you just keep playing one 1900 player and one 2000 player. Twitch reflexes and intuitive controls have me at a point where I'm consistently beating the computer in straight sets. When do I get to play real people online; that's the million dollar question?

Anybody know anything about realtime one-on-one wifi games for the wii? C'mon, they can do it with the DS; what's the hold up?

Excite Truck is pretty fun.

Anything that gets my friends to understand why I enjoy spending a couple of hours a weekend geeking out is fine by me!

things I hate so far, a list: motherfucking lava, portal monsters who won't cooperate and keep wandering around out of B-button death range, portal monsters I have to fight in human form, most of the little kids from my village, Midna giving me useless/redundant advice in dungeons.

As for Zelda, yeah, I hate the portal Monsters, but I've become a pretty big fan of riding round Hyrule Field as fast as Epona will go doing drive-bys (With my sword) on the baddies that wander about down there.

I still haven't made as big a dent in Zelda as I feel I should have, just haven't had a chance to dedicate a whole day to it like I really should. Maybe this weekend. maybe.

Same here - I'm only just catching my stride thirteen hours into the damn thing! (I do have to applaud the designers for building in a pretty brilliant degree of compartmentalization - as someone who rarely has the patience for gigantic sprawling games, it's a huge boost for the game to be structured by goals which can be accomplished in an hour or so, like "find the tears" or "get into the castle" or whatever. Maybe this has been an element of Zelda forever and it's just new to me since TP is the first Zelda I've ever owned and therefore had the time to obsess over; I 'unno.)

The Shrink guy (Shrunk?) is making me touch him!

red steel is atrocious. terrible graphics (made worse by the fact that the game relies on long range shooting, often far away enemies can only be detected by gun fire or when they hit you), unresponsive controls, it is neither realistic nor fun to simulate opening a door with a flick of the nunchuck, so much time spent fucking around trying to escape through doors while getting shot the fuck up when a simple button press would suffice, ditto sword fighting, it just doesn't work. the music sounds like fucking propellerheads or some shit, like 10 minute tom rolls and played james bond melodies into atmospheric exhale drones/corny fake "j pop" drum n bass with insulting fake japanese vocals, terrible enemy ai and voice acting ("he's gone..", no i'm fucking not i'm shooting you in the head, dick). it's not so good. i just can't believe they fucked the controls up so bad, like who tests this shit?? how does it get through??

Can you show us on the doll where he touched you?

also playing mario & luigi: superstar saga. too many tutorials, not enough fun yet.

hahahahaha i think i know people who did.

Now to get a used copy of Dawn of Sorrow...

I'm surprised by how much fun most of these games still are, usually with emulators i'll play for a few seconds and then switch off but I was well into Robocod the other day. Alien Breed too was something I couldn't stop playing last night.
