edit: Assuming "watching" refers to multiplayer, of course.

well as im the only person has has used the poll.. i will have to explain. I play games and my girlfriend sits there watching.. out of the games I have played from that list, Uncharted 2 was the only one she didnt get all pissy with me for playing too long. she also doesnt mind watching the bioshock games. I cant get away with playing galaxy without her wanting to play though, so that sorta doesnt count.

Same here. I was either expecting Interactive Movie or Movie (But that last one would of only worked if the TC asked What do you call a game that is more fun to watch then it is too play?)

I boycott the poll based on the fact that it doesn't contain Heavy Rain.

I had an entire room full of people watch me play it for about two hours (I was close to the end).

None of them are as fun to watch as to play. I don't think any game is (Maybe Heavy Rain or Visual Novels?). Some of them are still fun to watch though. Uncharted 2 is still somewhat fun just to watch. Crysis is also just as fun just to watch. Gears of War 2 not as much but a bit. SMG2 is a heck no. And Mass Effect 2 is at some parts, but really bad to watch at others.

I would have said heavy rain, but I voted uncharted 2 since that was what I thought was the best option out of the selection :X

New Super Mario Bros. Wii on 4-player multiplayer is joyous to watch. There is a QuickLook on it on GiantBomb, best QuickLook to date.

I watch TF2 on youtube quite a bit, OMFGNinja is a Beast.

Shadow of the Colossus is great to watch as well.

Also anything ProtonJon plays.

Yeah sorry dude. I was going to put Heavy rain but you know there's already too much controversy on heavy rain's "movie like" interactivity so I just put crysis instead so the pc gamers won't cry about it. :)

Bayonetta? Ninja Gaiden? Devil May Cry? I don't find shooters fun to watch other people play anyway.

Bioshock since when my friend comes over he actually watches me play that game and when I offer to let him play he always says "no, I like watching".

Not a very good game. If you aren't having any more fun playing the game than watching someone else play it there must be something wrong.

Yeah as cinematic as Mass Effect can be, when your going through intense dialog options or wandering around a planet not much excitement to see there. Gears of War MP isn't much to watch, though the single-player can be decent. Uncharted can sometimes be fun to watch, but it's not always that great either. I have never watched anyone play Crysis, hell I've never played Crysis, so I can't really answer to that. Oh and lastly yeah SMG is very boring to watch (I've never watched anyone play SMG2, but I'd assume it would be the same).

None of them(well maybe Mario Galaxy, Mario Galaxy always looks fun to me...and I guess some parts of Crysis looks fun, but it's better to play). Ninja Gaiden. Footage of that game alone is satisfying. Playing the game and embracing its awesome combat? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good :D

It's as long and boring to watch as it is to play. Perhaps more frustrating to play then it is to watch though ... Especially with the controls. Shooting in particular.
