This question has been floating around various sites, so I'd thought I'd see what the M&Bers have to answer for this! It always brings up interesting discussions about games and people's reasons to why they answered that way.
If you were stranded on an island for the rest of your life, which 5 games would you bring and why?
There will always be naysayers trying to derail the question with situations, so here's a disclaimer: The games run on solar powered tamper proof consoles/PCs. Internet connection is allowed, but any attempt at signalling the outside world will result in the game shutdown for a week.. so yeah basically you can't be rescued with the aid of the computers... no matter how logical your point may be
My list:
1 Sims 2 (+ expansions) : Living stranded on an island, it's just the quintessential game to bring with you. You can't live like you did at home, so why not simulate your life! Sims 2 is such a perfect game when you have all the time in the world. If I was alone, this game would keep me from snapping and talking to a volleyball. With the virtual human interaction and with such an open ended range of possibilities, this would probably stop me from going over the edge.
2 GTA San Andreas : Once again, it has the same "Virtual life" appeal as Sims 2 has, except you are the one character, and you have 3 cities to do what you want. This is another game which is very hard to get bored of.
3 .... I'd need to bring an MMORPG, and if mount&blade was a full version and had online abilities, I'd bring it. Otherwise something like Oblivion or WoW. Even though I haven't played either, some people seem to spend 70% of their day playing these games.
4 Black and White : Such a fun game, very empowering. It would last me quite a long time before I'd grow bored.
5 Half Life 2 (+ garrys mod) : My favorite FPS, even though it's a linear story arc, the game play is excellent, the multiplayer would last me forever, and Garry's Mod would never tire me out.
