Some kind of storyline is a must, i dont really like arcade games.
I just played Land of the Dead, which I loved for several reasons: although it was a FPS, it was not hard to find my way around, i did not ever get lost or not know where to go, i hate that in games like doom. I also love horror and blood and zombies. And of corse i love to blow stuff up!
I also love thinking games like Scratches, Phantasmagoria and Shivers.
I like to solve puzzles in games like The 7th Guest or The 11th Hour.
There used to be an old Sierra game called Dr. Brain and The Island of Dr. Brain, those were a blast.
Good graphics are not really importaint, although i dont want to feel like I am playing Atari! Horror is the best, but really im just looking for a fun game that me and my girlfriend can play while the baby is sleeping.
The puzzles are amazing.
The graphics arent all that great the puzzles are amazing.
