So there you have it, guys: my favorite, most-recommended games for geeks who don't like video games! I hope this inspires some of you self-professed non-gamers out there to pick up the controller, because once you find the right ones, gaming can be an unbelievably fun way to waste all of your productive hours away. (Plus John just told me there's a sequel: Arkham City. Combine that with a bunch of nifty Batarang gadgets and fighting combos, and this is one super fun ride. I was also delighted to discover a whole treasure hunt aspect to the game, along with a huge cache of Riddler riddles that you get to solve along the way. There's no language, no gore, and Batman never actually kills anyone he just knocks them out. While it's certainly the grittiest and most "adult" of my selections here, Arkham Asylum is surprisingly clean. I'm about 75% through so far, and with only a single rescue from John! (And even that wasn't because it was too hard I just didn't like Croc jumping out at me all the time - made me too edgy.) So if you're like me and can't handle first-person-shooters, scary stuff, or games that just get too hard ( I'm looking at you, Psychonauts), but you love puzzles, treasure hunts, good stories, and fun, compelling game play, then these are the games for you:Īrkham Asylum came out in 2009 on all the game platforms, and it's the game I'm currently hooked on. And while most are busts, I have managed to find some truly stellar examples that I not only love, but managed to play all the way through to the end - which is HUGE. Kids games, puzzle games, indie games you can only get by downloading them, you name it. Thanks to the fact that I have a gamer husband who is determined to both get and keep me hooked on them, I've tried lots and lots of games. That said, I really do like video games, so long as they're not too hard, not too scary, not too violent, and have a compelling storyline. (It's like threading a needle to get a Big Daddy through a Rapture door, I swear.) My very first post on this blog was about how spectacularly horrendous I am at playing scary video games.
