Final Fantasy isn't dork lol. I find games such as RE4 addictive, but it's not the kind of game I play 24 hours or more non stop. I think only Civ and similar games can make me do that.
My sister once borrowed a Nintendo (SNES I think) and we played Super Mario. It was fun in its own simple way, and I don't know how much time I possibly could have spent on it, if it wasn't just a console she borrowed.
PS2 was my first console, I only had computers before.
