Casual Games

[jp_bl_68]

Which (if any) casual games do you play?

To be clear, by casual I mean something that you can pick up for ten/twenty minutes, thoroughly enjoy, and put it down without a second thought. Games you know you can enjoy when you've just got a few minutes to spare.


Tetris was my casual game of choice but I've become bored of it (that being said it kept me entertained for the best part of 20 years ).

So, I'm on the look out for some new games (not necessarily puzzle based). Any suggestions?

Just Cause 2. I've put a few hours into that but couldn't really tell you where I'm upto. Portal 1 + 2. Just finished Portal 2 the other day and it's very good. Other than that online FPS games with 10 minute rounds. It's for these reasons that I always seem to shy away from playing Left 4 Dead because it can easily be an hour, especially if there are 1 or 2 deaths.

New star Soccer 5. Been a fan of the series since NSS2, and 5 is just awesome after the disappointing NSS4.
