Poll: what other kinds of game do you play?

[theKurgen]

I'm a civver not a gamer. Apart from the odd game of internet poker i don't play any games that aren't civ

 

[Pieman]

I largely play shooters and strategy games, with an RPG or adventure game every now and then.

 

[Onagan]

no time for other games, so i voted for Sid.

I have to spend my time cleaning the house, and raise my 4 kids. But then again I give my only son Sidney as name. I have to watch out for not calling him Sid

 

[AljayBoy]

When I'm not civving it I'm playing Counter-Strike Source; Football Manager 2008; Pro Evolution Soccer '08 or Call of Duty 4, last two for the PS3.

Also have a soft spot Final Fantasy games even though I've not completed one since FF VIII.

 

[catfish99]

Oblivion and Civ are my console and PC time-shredders.
Once in a great while, I'll dabble in other console games, but those games account for less than 5% of my gaming time.

Once again, HerrDoktor makes me laugh - are you sure you're not Steve Martin?

Ooops sorry, he's not funny any more.......

I would cheat on Sid if Elite IV was ever released, otherwise I'm his B1tch.....

 

[TyranusBonehead]

In the past I've played FPS's like Doom, Doom2, Quake and Quake2, I then went to roleplaying with the Diablo franchise, then into Starcraft, Warcraft III, Age of Empires, Civ III, then Civ4. However, now I prefer almost exclusively strategy games. I'll play RTS, but I'm hooked on Civ.

I've played cardgames like Magic, Star Wars and (gasp) some Pokemon. Played quite a bit of chess, and am going to start on a tabletop role playing game soon, called Legend of the 5 Rings.

In the future, I'm planning on playing CivRev, and Spore.

Cod 4 Ftw.

 

[NintendoTogepi]

I'm really varied.

A mere look at my favorite games shows a large mixture of different genres. CIV isn't even my favorite game, or in my top 10

I'm a big fan of simulation games, like Black & White, SimCity, The Sims...I also really like Mario games, and The Legend of Zelda games. (particularly Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, both are in my top 3 favorite games!)

Sometimes I enjoy FPSs, like Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 or BioShock...

Really, my tastes are quite varied.

 

[Diamondeye]

Strategy, mostly. Sometimes a FPS of some sort, or atleast something bloody. But it's gotta be Strategy's my poison, as a general rule of thumb.

Hehe, you're welcome. I guess the name you're looking for is Peter Sellers (hint: look to the left).

 

[moggfanatic]

I have to say I'm with the varied interests category as well.. Here's a short list of games I've been playing at one point or another:

Arcade: Tekken, Soul Calibur, any variation of Marvel/Capcom/SNK, DDR, Guitar/Percussion Freak

Board Games: Chess, Scrabble, Monopoly!

Card Games: Poker, Magic: The Gathering, Legend of the Five Rings, heck even Pokemon and Yugi-Oh!

First Person Shooters: Doom and Half-Life titles

Role Playing Games: Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Diablo, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, Ragnarok (flunked a semester playing this MMORPG so I forbade myself from ever playing one again)

Strategy Games: Civ is the only turn-based game I play as I grew up on RTS games from both Command & Conquer and Warcraft titles.

 

[Supr49er]

Poker.
Colonization.
Sherlock. Still have it, it still works. Anyone else remember this?

 

[magicalsushi]

Looking at the poll options, apparantly board games don't count, so I guess I have to say I'm not into games anymore.

If me and my computer are both available at the same time, I'll play Civ. I wouldn't mind playing other video games, but if I were playing something else, that would mean I would be missing an opportunity to play Civ, and that would be silly. If I have a chance to play on my computer, why *wouldn't* I play Civ?

 

[Onagan]

beyond the computer i play a lot of games, with the kids

with friends, poker (7 card stud) and in ancient history i played chess.

 

[AmazonQueen]

On computer besides Civ its RPG (Oblivion, Morrowind, NWN1&2), strategy (the Europa Universalis series, Crusader Kings, SMAC, Colonisation, Chariots of War), King of Dragon Pass (which is strategy with RP elements), city builder games, Pirates, Railroad Tycoon (anything Sid has had a hand in has been quality in my experience, I even enjoyed his golf game although I hate golf)

Off computer its RPGs, strategy games (particularly ancient, medeval and Napoleonic) and board games in general (Die Macher and Puerto Rico are current favourites)

 

[morpheus11]

I play pretty much anything. I have enjoyed gaming for over 20 years now and I own quite a few consoles. Currently I have a Wii so that takes up some of my Civ time, but so does real life.

 

[HerrDoktor]

I'm pulling this up just one time. I want at least 100 votes, so we can have a more reasonable sample to comment on the results.

 

[LordMachiavelli]

Civ IV-BTS is my mainstay. I also play Gal Civ 2 when I'm in a sci-fi mood. I've been at itsyourturn since '99, where I play simpler games like battleship, pente, backgammon, etc. My wife was severely addicted to WoW. I've taken over her account and checked out the game. I've found it enjoyable, but not as addictive to me as it was to her. Got to be turn-based for me.

In this order:

JRPGs
Civ
Online FPSes
Other 4x games

I need to specify JRPGs and Online FPSs because if I just say RPGs and FPSs, that would be interpreted to include WRPGs and single player FPSs, both worthless genres (though there used to be good WRPGs)
