Help me pls: Best 10-30 minutes games

[Lupaie]

Sooo...I am having trouble to find time to actually game. When I am at home in the evenings I watch TV with my wife, who doesn't like gaming all that much, except for animal crossing. During the day I have two kids running around, aging between 4 months and 3 years old. For the rest I am getting stressed when I think of all the games I still have to complete. So it's since a couple of months that I came to realize that my 70+ hours gametime is over. Even if I have the time to play a game like, say Lost Oddessey, I get stressed while playing, it just takes tooooo long.

On my list are some quick games which I love, can somebody relate to my problem, I need advice and a good list of short games. (I mean games that are good to play for 10 mintues to 30 minutes)

- Jetpac
- Carcassonne
- Pacman CE
- Banjo-Kazooie Arcade
- Streetfighter IV
- Soulcalibur 4
- Virtua Tennis 3
- Fifa 09


Here's my current collection, but I need to add some

Lylat Wars /thread.

I still play that today :3

*sigh* Lylat Wars (or Starfox 64) currently available on the virtual console is a simple pick up and play game, the game won't take you over 30 mins to complete, plus alternative routes, medals and beating your score and such will keep you coming back

[Lupaie]

ah okay thanks! I thought that you meant that there was a simular thread in a Lylat Wars topic. But you actually meant the game.

Still dont know why you typed ... /thread after the game's name. But that might be noobischness

it's ok. For the record, /thread is basically a non serious way of saying, Here's the answer, threads over (I think, feel free to correct).

I know of some games that you can play in spurts. There isn't an end to it untill you want to finish it

Also see simcity

That game might beimpossible to find, but if you want to try it I can hook you up

[Grimmjow]

I still play that today :3

Me too :3

I think it's my most played game of all time.

[Lupaie]

GTAIV maybe? I just play that for about 20-30 minutes a day and have been steadily progressing through it.

Nah...sometimes I need 10 minutes to drive to the location, then drive again...and then die. Another 30 minutes straight into the bin. (Catch the waves mission and the one with the FBI trap near old mansion)

[Pies]

Geometry wars 1 or 2 on 360 or Geometry wars galaxy on DS or Wii. I find it addictive to play again and again :D

[Zy0n7]

The touhou series for pc

[StarFox]

RPGs are a good way I waste my time. I usually play Tales of Phantasia on my GBA SP, or when I have batteries, Dragon's Lair, Pokemon Red/Blue, or Mario Golf on my Gameboy Pocket.
