NEED RECOMMENDATION QUICK

[Caveman]

About to buy a laptop... It comes with a free game up to $50 value. I'm either going to buy a high priced game and sell it or buy a game that my wife and I will both love.

No first person shooters or anything WOW-like... We liked simcity... Or perhaps a sports game we can both play...

Any recommendations?

on the same PC or like over a LAN?

What type of games do you typically enjoy, and will you and the wife be playing over a LAN?

The Sims 1 or 2. You can have a blast making your wife one of the sims and telling her to clean up and cook things in the game

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Multiplayer tetris

 

[JasonandBecky]

Civ 4 maybe?

 

[Sumguy]

I'd say the Sims

We're not big "game" freaks... Last game we played was the original SimCity... I was thinking about getting version 4... But thought there might be something more out there along the same lines...

We can play over a home network or at the same machine.

Killing and monsters aren't too exciting to us... Just something "down to earth " and fun...

Might I suggest Capitalism 2. It has multiplayer capabilities and it is basically like Sim City except you run a business.

You are probably about to buy an overpriced laptop. Why don't you let us find you a better deal then you can get your own games later with the hundreds $$ in savings?

You don't know Jack FTW.

Only problem is there probably hasn't been one out in a while...

Next.

I play adventure games with my GF, Broken Sword series, Sam and Max, etc.

YDKJ is online now, and free, although its not as great as it used to be... its still got the same humor.

Recommended that one to my mother in law last week (she purchased). I picked up the Gateway FX 6860 last night and it's definitely a "best bang for the buck" machine...

What do you do in these types of games?
