Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled, although I have all the achievements in both now. The hardest was Platinum in Lightning, which took me ages, but I finally saw the trick. Vasebreaker Endless and Survival Endless in PvZ tend to stagnate once their levels are into the hundreds.

I have two talents in life; video games and standardized testing. I decided one of those wasn't all that helpful in life, so I mostly gave it up about a decade ago. I'll play the occasional flash tower defense games and if anyone asks me to showcase my talents.

I have been playing Super Hexagon and Super Meat Boy lately, on steam, as well as Seiken Densetsu 3, on my actual SNES. I found an english translation rom, and since it is multiplayer my wife has joined me. It's really fun to play through a beautiful japanese rpg like this with someone else who also appreciates them. I don't like this one as much as the original Secret of Mana, but it's pretty fun. Not too long ago I was trying my best at Ninja Gaiden 3 (NES), but as it only gives you 5 continues total I haven't yet gotten all the way through it, getting close though.

Ever since I can remember I've loved video games.  The only time I didn't play them was when I was in college because I had to work full time...the only time I played was when I was looking after my nephew.  He thought it was awesome to have an aunt to play games with.  Right now I’m playing the most recent Zelda, Skyward Sword.  I was reading on the RPG forum that people don't seem to care for it, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far.  I’m only on the 3rd temple, but can’t wait to see what else will happen in the game.

That's my bro right there.

Been an avid player since early childhood. Kinda not that big on the recent releases though because they're become less and less engaging. They're just playing sage with every release rather than taking risks and gaining new ground in terms of gameplay etc.

Whatever.

Also the new mechanics generally suck.

Call of Duty is cancer.

cod 1 was fine, like cs just in world war setting but with some alternative mechanics.

the rest were optimized for consoles and marketed towards daddy gamers (casual players) and are reprehensibly skilless churned out crap that turn a profit. see cod uo, cod2, cod3,cod4,cod5,cod6,cod7,cod12,cod66,cs source, cs go. essentially any multiplayer fps game released in the past few years.

been trying to play chrono trigger on the snes emulator, somewhat because of the fantastic piano transcriptions. the story looks like it makes it a good game, but the battle system bores me to tears. same reason I could never play any of the final fantasy games - which, apparently, were so highly regarded :/

I'm not an extremely hefty gamer, but I do like to League occasionally if time allows. I guess when it comes to video games, I'm really like Pokemon, Zelda, and Resident Evil. I've been pretty big on Touhou and NieR as well but I don't really play these actively. I just like the fandom to be honest. I'm pretty behind in the gaming world to be honest!

Bioshock Infinite. Mind-bending, but somewhat contradictory to the ideas it portrays. Incredible nonetheless, and worthy of the wait.
