Default What non-wargames do you have?

Thought I might start a thread here. What non-wargames do you guys have (difficult question, I know).
I have;
-Sim city 3k, sim city 4
-oil tycoon 2
-zoo tycoon
-rollercoaster tycoon
I must say I had to really search for those, mostly only play wargames now

Depends what you call a War Game....

I have Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Not a war-game in the sense that you lead-armies etc, since you don't.

Also have Knights of the Old Republic II...again, same deal.

To go with that i also have Never Winter Nights 2.

Those are just the ones i have installed on my PC right now. No way i could install all the games I have.

I have more non-wargames for the 360 though (Madden, NCAAF, NBA, NHL)

I thought about downloading it and giving it a shot about a year ago?

is it any good? How is the learning curve? And could I do Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions?

Default Re: What non-wargames do you have?

I don't really play too many video games. I have the Medal of Honor series (9 of them) and Secret Weapons Over Normandy. I also have Call of Duty 1, but I didn't like it enough to get the rest, though i have played (and beat) them at friends' houses.

Non war games of mine:
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
Titanic Adventure Out of Time

Like I said, I'm not much of a gamer.

Non-Wargames!! I never knew there was any other type of game than a war game! lol as you can tell i dont have too many non shooting or non-violent games. i have NHL 2007 for PS2 and indianna jones: the emporors tomb...... thats it lol. My game collection consists of Many WW2 shooting games or RTS games, i love strategy games actually more thinking than " Point and shoot". I like WW2 shooting games because i like the history aspect of it. Most people think that i only like ww2 and that i think i know so much about it because i have so many games.... No i liked ww2 long before i even had a video game console or computer. Stupid sterotypes!

When you say wargames, do you mean games without any deadly conflict? For instance, do you refer to Counter-Strike as a wargame, where counter-terrorists fight terrorists, even though it technically is not a war?

Hmm... let's see. I also have Rollercoaster Tycoon on a disc somewhere, but I don't play it anymore. But I did play it years ago, along with wargames such as Close Combat 3 and Shogun: Total War, and it was a fun game I have to admit.

Chess is actually a wargame taking place in the Medieval. While it has no graphics to speak of, there's the King, the towers, the horsemen and the peasants. Each piece symbolize the Medieval and its warfare.

Quite incorrect. Chess was invented in Persia when a kig tried to explain strategy to his vassals or something. So, it's more antiquity based than medieval. One way we can clearly memorize this is thinking of medieval battles where knights were the imposing force.

EDIT: I just aquired God of War II and wow amazing game!!! Tough I'm not sure if it counts as a war game since you spend the entire game ripping heads of and cutting guys in half...
