Video gaming is just too easy. I know because I've played since I was six years old or something
Perhaps that's the reason you think it's too easy. I've been playing since I was four or five, so I have no trouble at all picking up a new game, but someone like my cousin Sarah who has very little video game experience just doesn't do very well. My mother's surprisingly good at Tetris and other puzzle games, since she's played them a lot, but she's terrible at Mario Kart and any boss fights in Zelda games. My stepfather's quite good at Halo and Doom, but he can't do shit in most of my other games. My parents only occasionally play games, and focus on specific types when they do play, and it shows, since they suck at any other games. I've played a lot of games, covering damn near every genre, and I'm consequently capable of picking up just about any game with relative ease.
Holy crap, I remember M.U.L.E. Well, sort of. Haven't played it for years... I'm amazed anyone else remembers it.
In no particular order, mine are... 1. Doom/Doom2 - Simple shooting. Best way to vent anger, IMO.
2. Disgaea 2. Oooh, big numbers!
3. Tetris Attack. Nothing gets my mind off stress quite like TA. Problem is, then I can't stop thinking about Tetris for hours...
4. Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun. Only problem's that a game takes so damn long to finish, at least against the AI. Against people, I'd probably lose in half an hour or less...
5. Forsaken 64. It can be mildly disorienting though...
