The best video game I have ever played.
Portal.
(Those of you who are gamers will laugh at the fact that I am years behind the curve. But you will also recognize the truthfulness of my statement.) Pros: - Very, very, VERY spatial - 1st person but NOT a shooter - Amazingly creative - Fun puzzle-solving involved, and not trivial (after the first few) - Ending sequence is a riot Cons: - Too short (took me maybe 12 hours total; I am sure that an experienced gamer would take half that time or less) - No 2-player mode (not a problem for me, but it might be fun) My 17-year-old showed it to me and I decided to try it. No cheats or anything. Didn't even read hints or any such thing, and I am very glad for it. Seriously, it's good that all video games are not like this, or I might be one of those guys who lives in his basement and draws welfare checks.

It's a well-loved game in the Eowyn house.

And the protagonist is female, which has very little bearing on the game but is a change from the typical male protagonist.
I had my wife sit down and play it for a few minutes, and she was so bored with it she finally asked not to play it any more. She was completely unenthralled with the spatial aspect of the game. Don't know if that's a common female POV or if that's just Sister Vort.

Just read a years-old review suggesting that Portal was based on a game concept by students at DigiPen, a Redmond game programming undergrad institution. Glad to know it was my fellow Redmondian weirdos that came up with such an awesome idea.

I hate video games. I find them very boring.
I do, however, love rock band and kinect games. I guess because you don't just sit with a little controller in your hands.

If it's an X-Box game and I can get it cheap at gamestop. I might try it. But my husband will like it, sounds like his type of game.
