If you could only play one more video game...

Slashdot's comment inducing tech version of Dear Abby ("Ask Slashdot") poses an interesting conjectural question: If you could only play one (or a few) more video game(s) before chronic arthritis finally kicked in, what would you choose? Rigor Morty writes:

"I am an older man (44), an avid fan of video games, and I am faced with a problem; my hands are becoming arthritic as I get older. I fear I will soon have to completely give up the console games I have loved over the years. To that end, let me ask the Slashdot Nation - if you were going to give it up, what games would you insist on playing before you had to quit? I'm willing to make some effort to do this, and spend some cash; I will buy the new consoles if I need to, or try to find obscure titles."

Early reader replies offer more off-topic advice than desired recommendations including "play the motion-sensing Wii," try Chess, and our favorite, "Never give up!" So do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as a gamer, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as a gamer...
