Non Violent Offerings?

[Spezi]

Not being a gamer (other than a few recent rounds of CoD) I was just wondering what offerings there are that would classify as adventurous with cool graphics but not blood, guts and a natural recipie for warring egos?

In other words anything that's fun but doesn't require killing something or endless arguments over acceptable strategy?

Well Spezi.. something like 'Dreamfall: longest Journey' and that series might be up your street. There are also masses of freeware games that offer aspects similar to the ones you're looking for; I dont have a direct link, but if you google search for shareware games then you might find something. 'Two days a skeptic', 'Cloud', 'Rainy Day', 'Super Tummy Ball'...

One of the best, in my opinion, is a platform physics game, simpley called N; you navigate the small man around the maps. Can be challenging, and indeed adventurous and does require brainpower.

Hope that gives you a start!

Hearts or Minesweeper?

Now that you mention it, virtually all of my games have a violent element! I'd never really thought about that before, they are all shoot-em-ups or real time war stratagies...

Theme Hospital and Theme Park are good fun games, but quite dated now. The Sims 2 isn't violent and can be fun if you like that sort of game.

Lego Star Wars II may be a good choice, the demo is good fun

Theme Hospital after all it's used to train senior manager's in the NHS.

What about URU - Ages Beyond Myst?

Myst?

Darwinia?

How abouts Stepmania? The Myst series is more puzzle game than anything, never played it though

Oh no nurse, it's another case of bloaty head

I can quite happily waste hours playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Three. There's two add-ons as well 'Soaked' & 'Wild'

Now available on budget as well.

I also occasionally play Siberia, you can get Siberia 1 & Siberia 2 for a budget price as a collector's edition.

Haha, Theme Hospital provided *hours* of fun. I got stuck on one of the later levels, when a mass of sick spewin' sickbags spawned in my hosptial...

Input appreciated.

Rollercoaster Tycoon looks interesting as does Darwinia.

Thank you and keep them coming if you think of more.

I also have Theme park with the wild and soaked packs, although CoD2 rains supreme at the mo!
