Do you have a stress relief game?

Do you have a game that you can play that will give you relief for stress? I find [Prototype] quite fun to blow some stress on.

Not really. I play Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, and MLB 11 The Show a lot. When I get frustrated in Uncharted 2 or MW2, I try and calm down by playing some Baseball. But I still get frustrated playing MLB 11 The Show sometimes. It's when I actually get some good hits and earn some runs, that I calm down. Haha

Dang someone beat me to it, this.

Back when Prototype came out, and my friend had it, I used to blow off steam by sending a flying kick to nearby helicopters. Oh the fun. Nowadays though....I don't really have anything. Games I play all have the tendency to annoy me.

Stress relief is pretty much the reason I got into gaming...so any game will do.

GTA4. Especially when you're pissed off and there's no moral obligation for virtual violence :twisted:

ES: Oblivion. That game is just so chill for the most part and there's pretty much always something to do whether it be a quest, looting, finding a cave, going through an oblivion gate, or taking a trip through the shivering isles. I feel bad getting Skyrim before completing every last thing in Oblivion, but there's just so much to do. Not to mention the graphics still hold up wonderfully, so it's always a different experience exploring new territories.

The "REEL Fishing" series. Perfect for winding down.

Minesweeper and Bethesda RPGs.

Every game i play relieves stress even Demon's Souls.

Audiosurf & Saints Row 2.

I used to relax while playing Harvest Moon games. Plant crops...brush animals...give flowers to all the happy townspeople.

On PS3 Final Fantasy XIII, Dragon Age II and Darksiders.

For me, gaming in general is a stress reliefer.unrealtron

I'm a big fan of the series but the answer to your question is any game other than CoD.

Hmm...not really lol. Any game will make me rage sooner or later.

I'm surprised that no one has said Dead Rising 2. It's a great stress reliever, zombies to beat to death with virtually anything you desire. The controls are also simple enough for you to jump back into the game without having much of a "re-learning" curve. Awesome...

Rock Band 3, i feel like singing in RB is a great stress reliever for me

Used to be UC2 MP but at the current state it is in now... It makes my blood boil.

Lumines for the psp and beat-em-up games.

- Dynasty Warriors 7

- Screwing around in inFamous 2

- Screwing around in Just Cause 2.

Yakuza 4 - the hostess maker mini-game where you try to get your girl to be #1 by dressing up them up and etc.

Oh, and I agree with the guy above. Netflix is a great way to relax. I'll either play the Spider-Man animated series, Shin Chan or Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I was playing Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD on hard for the platinum and couldn't get passed the Empress fight in the middle of the game. I was close to eating my controller when I heard Flower was really relaxing. Downloaded and played it. My stress was gone after the first level. It really is an amazing game.

Yes my stress relief games are anything "old School" from the 16-bit era. Soon Playstation 3 Sonic's ultimate Genesis collection.An old game from PS2 (SHUMP)Or Playstation 1 "Shoot them up games" Super StarDust HD is the only modern PS3 game that provides stress relief.

Games that I do not have to re-learn and just enjoy Shooting things up, or a platformer. (plus I have the Big "N" second home console) for this.

So if I'm stressed Learning a new PS3 game is not the best thing. So playing a game such as "Catherine" would not provide stress relief

Can say that again.It's just so relaxing and it's a feist for the eyes.

Any hack and slash game with lots of blood and gore.

I'd also add 3D Dot Game Heroes.

COD mw 2

For stress, I normally stick on my bandana in Red Dead Redemption, and just shoot like you've never shot before, or keep trolling in multiplayer to get other people angry and stressed (oj, don't do that lol) :)

I don't have much stress, but when I do have some a few of the Games I use are:

- Battlefield 1943
- Flower
- Test Drive Unlimited 2

LA Noire. Whenever I get mad I just spend hours running over Rusty :P

The "REEL Fishing" series. Perfect for winding down.

I remember one of those games from the PS1 series. Definitely a game that would let you kick back and relax.
