"I could spend weeks immersed in this game. Oh, wait... I did! (And I have no regrets about that, either.)"

"C&C is where I go to relax... I guess I love it primarily for the tech trees -- which is funny, because my only gripe with the series is that I'd love to see the trees be more expansive."

"How could you be born in the 80s and NOT love this game?! SMB3 was a paradigm shift in the gaming world, with the nonlinear map-based level selection. (It was fun to play, too!)"

"I played MYST at a friend's house, but RIVEN was the first in the series that I bought (with my own money!). Darker and more depressing than MYST, RIVEN was like the moody, emo teenager in this family of games."

"Ahh... geometry!"

"Having only played on the free server, it can be really annoying to spend 8 minutes traveling to a location on the map, only to find out once you arrive that it's members-only. Otherwise, it's fun!"

"This is the sort of game that I load up and play with my kids watching; it's gentle in the beginning, and becomes hectic in a lighthearted way. The sketchy aesthetic is reminiscent of the "made by a kid" look of games like Yoshi's Island."
