Hah! My step-dad got me a game like that as a present ('cause he has absolutely no idea what sort of video games I like and somehow considered it appropriate). It was all roller coaster building and no park running. I remember getting so frustrated over not being able to construct the roller coasters they told me to. Maddening, I tell you.
On a side note, Braid gave me a nasty headache halfway through World 5. If I could just finish this time. >/
Yeah, I had a different game he got me that let me run a park. It was a dinosaur park though. Do you know what I'm talking about? The main attractions were usually the dinosaurs. You had to assign people to feed them, make feeding routes, display cases, make sure they didn't kill each other, as well as place attractions and expand on the island you were given as the money came in. That was actually fun.
Yeah, apparently. I just found it; it's called Dino Island. Oh gosh! I remember now! There was a dinosaur lab and dinosaur matches. It was a theme park, but it was mostly playing with the dinosaurs.
I think Crysis is a better game than Crysis 2, yet I kinda prefer the sequel. Mostly because Crysis 1 was all technical brilliance to the extent it was devoid of personality and soul. Oh and the second half (maybe last third) was kinda bad.
Right now i'm still playing LoTR: War in the North. Game is seriously good, and its just getting better. Definitely one of the most underrated games of last year in my opinion. About half way through now, so i'll just keep playing and probably finish it tomorrow.

I'm reminded of Sims Theme Park by this conversation, which was SO COOL.

Are you going to hold onto it for long then?stephenage
Yeah, i'm not selling it. Just finished the main quest today and my total time clocked in around 12-15 hours, so plenty of meat there. The story was pretty great if you like LoTR and the gameplay was sooo much fun for me. Some wil find it repetitive, but I liked it. I'd give it a 8-8.5/10.
That's real tempting... If you promise to hold onto it I promise to buy it next time its at a decent price.

So I played a bunch of Fez today. Some of the most ingenious puzzle design, for one I worked out that the controller vibrated when you stood on something and did so alternating left and right in a pattern. If you follow that pattern with the shoulder buttons you unlock a secret item. Another one, there was QR code, I scanned it on my phone and it came up with an code to type in.
Just finished Braid, but I got confused, so I looked up how to get the stars since I hadn't done any of that and...wow. That's a pretty messed up game. :P
@stephenage: I was wondering what the strange white booger in your Gamertag was. Now I know!
[QUOTE="RoseFlambe169"]Normally I don't go through games more than once, but I'm making an exception in this case. It is quite amazing. And scary. Very scary.nintendo_warrio
