Do you have any video games that you enjoy playing?
1.) The Legend of Zelda (all): I enjoy the freedom that I get with the series. Yeah, there's a plot, but I can go wherever I want when I feel like it! Plus I enjoy puzzles. Boy, does the LoZ have 'em! I like my mind to work to solve a really hard dungeon puzzle (I hate the Water Temples in each and every single game, though). The graphics are amazing (say what you will), the plot can get anyone hooked, and the boss battles are some of the best "ohmygodimgoingtodie" experiences ever. And the music? Beautiful. The only few downgrades are the weapon limits (oh my God, I don't have anymore bombs and I'm already down to the 45th level of this dungeon challenge!), those really annoying invisible barriers (seriously, why can't I just climb over that fence?), the ridiculous prices (50 rupees for how many bombs? Lame!), and that really annoying fairy (shuddap!!). Oh, did I mention some really creepy characters like Tingle?
2.) Dance Dance Revolution (all): This game is really fun. You need to have good coordination (feet and eyes) and rhythm to play this game. The song choices are incredible and vary from different genres. 'Nuff said.
I'm too tired to post anything else, so you guys can take it from here. *yawn*

Mine's definitely Crash Bandicoot. The whole series. Heck, even two characters from it look like Greasy and Psycho. The more recent games aren't as good, but they are still fun as heck to play, even for an older crowd.

I don't really actually play video games that much- I usually watch my brother play them, who's much better at them.
I tend to like older games, even though I'm not old enough to remember when they first came out. When I first became aware of video games, the Nintendo 64 was on it's way out, and the Game Boy was king. Most of my early video game memories involve either a Game Boy Color or Advance.
I'm into arcade games largely because the Redondo Beach Pier has a place called the Fun Factory. They have lots of older games- even Pong.
My favorites are usually Nintendo made- We own a Game Boy Color, Advance, and a Wii with an additional Gamecube controller. The rest of our games are on our computer.
In no particular order:
LoZ: Link's Awakening (GBC)- Always liked this one. Beautiful, atmospheric graphics and a wonderfully mysterious storyline and world that you can explore every which way. I like mysterious artifacts of an ancient time in fictional worlds, so...
Luigi's Mansion (GC)- I love classic haunted mansions and this one does an excellent job of making a spooky yet beautifully decorated house. The creepy atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife. The action is exciting as well.
Toonstruck (PC)- Probably the most underrated game of the Nineties. This one stars Christopher "Judge Doom" Lloyd as a cartoonist who enters the cartoon world of his own creation. The jokes are great, and it's fun to explore everything. Fans of the point and click genre, classic cartoons, some PG-13 humor, and of course WFRR should like this one.
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (SNES)- This platformer stars Donald Duck as Maui Mallard, the pistol-toting adventurer who can transform into Cold Shadow, the highly skilled blindfolded ninja. He has to return an ancient idol to its rightful place on this spooky, exotic, monster-plagued island- which has no particular cultural basis, like Adventureland. This one has superb graphics and lots of weird creatures, puzzles, and background elements.
M.C. Kids (NES)- This platformer is a surprisingly good game for a McDonald's tie-in. The gameplay adds its own unique elements to the old Mario formula.
Donkey Kong 64 (N64)- My favorite N64 game so far. Fun gameplay, and great graphics that make you feel like you're really in a jungle, despite the outdated 3D.
Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island (GBA): For a dopey crossover game that has some characters I don't even like, the platformer gameplay is incredibly creative and unique. This has more of the wandering around mysterious ancient stuff that I like.
Sparkster (series- SNES and Genesis)- I like this guy way better than Sonic the Hedgehog. He's a possum with a jet-pack-equipped suit of armor and a sword. His world is old-fashioned but with high technology, which you don't see very often. Fun gameplay and great music. Another platformer.
Burgertime (arcade)- My favorite arcade game, where you're a chef who has to build giant hamburgers while walking eggs, pickles, and hot dogs chase you and try to attack you. It's really weird but it's addictive, like an arcade game should be.
Wario Land 4 (GBA)- I really enjoy all of Wario's games, but this one tops them all. No one is quite as greed-satisfying as Wario. Wacky, insane worlds, tons of treasure, great graphics, and lots of puzzles to solve. Great music, too.
There are tons of other that I like, but these stick in my mind the most. As you can see, 2D platformers are my favorite.

If you like Conker, and like racing games, and like Donkey Kong Country, you'll like Diddy Kong Racing. Not only does it have Diddy Kong, Conker makes his first appearance, as well as Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie.
You see, the game was made to be a testing ground for new characters to see who would become popular. As you can see, Banjo was the most successful, and meanwhile Conker changed from a generic cutesy squirrel to the decidedly un-kid-friendly drunkard he is today. The only other appearance of this cutesy Conker is a GB/GBC game called Conker's Pocket Tales.

I've played both games. Diddy Kong Racing is so much fun! My favorite level is Hot Top Volcano using the little boat. =3
Conker's Pocket Tales sucked, and the original idea they had before CBFD looked horrible. I'm glad they made the change. Conker is fun not only for its crude humor, memorable bosses, awesome background music, and voices, but for the many movie spoofs that were snuck in. The final boss...oh my God...I nearly wet myself with pure fandom joy (not really). CBFD also had some really fun minigames, like Heist, War, and the Dino one. Why didn't Live & Reloaded have the minigames?? RARE made a very lame move by not providing their remake with the minigames...also the fact that the game had every single profanity censored. >.> Still, I love to quote the game. My Conker and Rodent impression is PERFECT. =3 Sad that I can't do Ze Professor's voice as well as I could years ago. *tear*
By the way, Ze Professor is the most awesome character in the game! Besides Conker, of course!

I haven't actually played any Conker games besides Diddy Kong Racing. I have to admit, it's not really my cup of tea, but whatever...
Although not nearly up there when it comes to profanity, Toonstruck has its share of risque and off-color jokes. I'd say it was PG-13 instead of R. That's generally the area where my sense of humor settles into. I think it has a lot of appeal for fans of classic cartoons with anvils, dynamite, and howling wolves instead of cutesy smiles and dancing shoes.
