The only two simulation video games that deserve "The Best" are Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

Hobbies & Games > Role Playing & War Games Is Dungeons and Dragons really satanic?: 35 of 75
I am very tired of everyone finding a way for everything to be evil and satanic just because they don't like it.

Hobbies & Games > Board Games Board game reviews: Battleball: 1 of 2
When Battle Ball first came out a few years ago I was probably seven or eight years old. It looked so fun to me because at that point the games that I played when I was three, four, five years old bored me and the fact it was a futuristic version of football. It looked so exciting! I had to get it! With my interests, there w... More..
