I like games of all sorts. From simple games you play on paper, through handheld games, console games and games for the PC. I can play chess and strategy games but I don't think I'm very good at them - it takes me a long time to think through my moves and even then I am usually easily beat. I still enjoy playing them though. The main problem with strategy board games I've found is that you need other players who are excited and interested to play with you. I'm thinking of chess , Cluedo and Risk and so on. My wife isn't that interested, especially in any D&D or military strategy games, which I quite enjoy. I've never delved into the whole online gaming experience (except a few games of internet draughts in Windows).
The battle scenarios are quite different sometimes: it's either rolling multi-sided dice or it's taking turns or it's real-time clicking (as in C&C and Red ALert). The turn-based battles in Final Fantasy PS games take some getting used to. I've recently started to play Baldurs Gate II and it is very complicated. I like that, it just takes me a while to get into it. I think it would be easier if I could play with someone who could tutor me. It's so lonely playing games on your own.
Moan moan moan. I love playing games though.

I haven't played Risk or Chess in ages. Nobody in my house has any interest in too many games. I'm feeling your pain.
I'll play anything with you but Risk. No Risk! Never again! I haven't not gotten a game so much before in my entire life. I prefer to stick to nice, easy games for my puny mind to process. Like Uno. Ahhhh... Uno.
Do you care for Second Life, bud?
AlienCG: Thanks man!
Ryan: I can't even remember what Risk is like it's been so long since I played! I'll have to check Second Life out, looks quite cool on first glance. Are you a resident yourself?
Yup. I've been in there for a couple months. I'm still broke. lol.
