    The games you keep going back to

    Dungeon keeper 1
    It is one thing to have a unique idea, it is another thing to execute it well. Playing the bad guys has never felt so right! The factors that control how well you get on seem really logical as well.

    Theme Hospital
    Im not usually a huge fan of sim games, but theme hospital is different. Im sure it is no coincidence that it's one of the few sim games im good at either! Maybe it's because it isnt as complex as some games, but I always feel in control with this one, even when it becomes challenging (unlike starting a city in Sim city 2000 [just me being pap at it though]).

    To a lesser extent I spose I could say I keep going back to Magic Carpet as well because it is like nothing else. Im sure its no coincidence that all the mentioned games are by Bullfrog too!

    Virtua Tennis
    Literally every year around Wimbledon time the Dreamcast will come out and me n the bro will play virtua tennis. I can't remember the last time I actually opened the CD tray! The controls are simple but at the same time give you a perfect amount of say in where the shot goes.

    EDIT awww crap, thought I was in the gaming forum, can a mod move this there please?

    Grand Prix Legends (a proper sim game )

    Just gone back to :

    Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut PC
    Max Payne 2 PC
    Painkiller

    Just a few that I have clocked a few times and wanted something different to play whilst I'm not on one of the many RPG's I have installed.

    i tried playing shenmue through again but I just couldn't do it. Such a great game so it was a shame I only played it once.
