Like any gamer, I have found that I like certain games better than others. I prefer strategy games, word games, and role play games (called RPGs). While on a game station, I favor the role-play games. On the computer, I am more about games that make me think. The games listed below are only a few of my favorites. As more games come out every year, my favorites will change. Right now, they are as listed below:

1. Microsoft's Zoo Tycoon.

I am a classic animal lover. Combine the animals and the strategy and you get this amazing game. Upon playing this game, I found out fast that it was not a normal animal game. I had to learn to be strategic in the placement of exhibits, sideshows, stores, restaurants, and foliage (both outside the exhibits and inside). The better the placements, the happier my guests and animals. The downside of this game is the controls. They take a while to get used to.

I rate this game 9/10.

2. Fizzball

This game is wonderfully fun and great to work on when you have a few spare minutes. Its actually geared for younger generations and works on the premise of the bricks games. You are a little scientist who takes it upon himself to save the animals from the islands that have apparently been abandoned. With the animals getting hungry, you not only have to capture the animals, but food as well. The scientist that you play has built a little vehicle that has a bubble on it, which grows as it eats more animals. The bigger the ball, the more, and larger, the animals you can capture. They all fit inside the ball with food and each other until the end of the level. You finish the level by capturing all the animals on the screen. Awards are given for almost everything. There are even normal levels and challenging levels. When you finally get to the point where you finish an island, you face a boss, who happens to be an alien. That's why all the people are missing. I still haven't finished the game but I recommend it to anyone interested in the bricks games.

I rate this game 9/10.

3. The Sims (1 and 2)

Anyone who is interested in gaming has heard of the Sims and most of them have played the game. A compelling game that is fun and addictive. You have control over a character, which you can create. In Sims one, you can change the head and the clothing, but not the features. In Sims 2, you can change everything from facial structure to eye color and hair color. Not happy with the selection that comes with the game, you can find tons on the net for free
