Relaxing games for wii & 360

[benzo]

Hi.

Any recommendations for relaxing games? I picked up 'endless ocean' for the wii, which is quite relaxing, but imo it can be a tad boring. Great idea though. If an HD version was made for the 360 and gameplay was more involving then I would be all over all it.




What would you recommend?

That looks great, what do you do in it though?

Just keep swimming?

Looks like you were having a whale of a time.

Can't help with the games but Sainsburys will reportedly cut the Nintendo Wii from £179.97 to £149.97, whilst the Xbox 360 Arcade is to be dropped from £129.97 to £99.97. The Xbox 360 60GB is also going to be reduced from £169.97 to £139.97.

The deals are set to run between October 3rd and October 12th.

This promotion follows in the footsteps of Morrison’s half-price chart game offer last month, and coincides with the release of FIFA ’09, which has been cut in price at Tesco and Asda.

It is a game for vegetables. You swim around & when you see a fish, tickle it or give it some fish food. Then point your pointer at the fish and click and you are told what the fish is. The 'tricky part' is leading a dive tour and being asked to point out certain fish.

Check out Braid from XBL Arcade. A bit pricey at 1200 points but oh so worth it. The first game for years that I've actually had to seriously think about.

Good fun though?
It'd be slightly different to all the shooting/driving/adventuring games I have!

Jesus, and I thought flight simulators looked tedious. If there's a market for this of thing I may write a game along lines of...

Level 1 - Press '1' to breath in and '2' to breath out.

Stay alive for 5 minutes and progress to level 2...

Level 2 - Shake nunchuck up and down to scratch your arse.

Etc.

Greetings.

I was going to try and complete endless ocean to see if there where any piranahas. Alas, I cant be bothered. That said I might make up a plate of sandwhiches and give it ago tommorow.

REZ HD was free for download on xbox live. It has quite a rapid tempo so im not sure if it qualifies as relaxing. Highly enjoyable though. Forgive me, Im quite ill and unable to post anymore.

Good luck.

Test Drive Unlimited. Doesn't take long to have the cash for an Aston/Ferrari etc, its quite cool just being able to hoon around 1000 miles of Hawaii not having to race everywhere. About £12ish if you get it for the 360.

Good call!
I do head back to TDU every now and then, jump in the F40 and go cruising round the island.

Oblivion, great fun to just wander round the place visiting different towns etc, getting drunk and picking fights with the guards. You can always go and find an unexplored cave or something and see what loot there is on offer.

[OllieBirmingham]

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Go drifting on Forza, or just go for a relaxed scenic drive round the 'ring.

Oi!

Thats my excuse.

I could keep up if I tried but I'm just going for a scenic drive this time, sir.

I always set out to have a nice relaxed couple of laps to further my track knowledge and then forgetting this and stuffing in to a barrier flat out.
