My family loves games. Board games, video games, card games- we do it all. Lately, I've noticed that playing video games is a great way to pass the time when you should be focusing on other obligations. These are just a few of my favorites.
1. "The Sims 4"
I put this as number one because it will continue to be my favorite game of all time. I have wasted countless hours on this franchise since I was in the fourth grade and it just keeps getting better. Create your dream family, or maybe a terrifying family and see what happens. Either way, it is sure to entertain you for days at a time.
2. "Call of Duty"
One of the most popular game series of all time, this is truly a top contender. New games are constantly coming out, so you'll always get a new updated version to waste time on. Every game is different and there are tons of game modes. I promise you won't get bored for a while. It does take some getting used to, though.
3. "Overwatch"
This is basically the "Call of Duty" of cuteness. The art-style and animations are a slightly less graphic version of the above. You get to pick from a variety of unique characters before you go into battle, so you'll learn to fall in love with whichever character you're the best at playing as!
4. "Peggle"
If you're a person who loves puzzle games, you'll love "Peggle." It's hard to explain, but for the most part, you shoot balls from the top of the screen and try to hit certain things as your ball falls down. I've finished this game at least three times and I still think it's fun. There's a multitude of levels, so it will be a sure time-waster.
5. "Viva Piñata"
Probably the cutest game on this list, this might be an animal lover's favorite game. It's an oldie, but a goodie. Start with a garden and try to raise the most adorable piñatas, based off of different animals! Lure in different species using certain flowers, houses, and other piñatas. I had a lot of fun designing my garden and making it into a masterpiece.
6. "The Wolf Among Us"
I'll start off by saying I'm extremely sad that they discontinued this game series. I played it years ago and it still is one of my favorite. It's an adventure game, where every choice you make alters the game in the future. The theme of this game is really unique fairytale-based characters living in our current world. There are quite a few episodes and they last about two hours each, so have fun!
7. "Rocket League"
My boyfriend has been addicted to this game for months! I was addicted for quite a bit and I have a feeling this summer will reawaken my obsession with this game. To explain it in simple terms: it's soccer with race cars. You can completely customize your car to be the coolest, too, which is always fun.
8. "Yandere Simulator"
This might be the creepiest game on the list and it is available currently to PC users only. The game is still being programmed and updated to this day, but the creator is allowing everyone to try it out for free now! You play as an anime schoolgirl and your job is to eradicate all the other potential love interests that could interfere with your crush. It's kind of a creepy concept, but the gameplay and graphics are really unique!
9. "Town of Salem"
This is an online game and it only costs five bucks! It's a role-based game where the towns' goal is to figure out which characters are evil and which are good. It's a time-waster and you will get addicted... in a good way! Every game is unique. Go check it out on your laptop ASAP.
10. "Injustice"
It's everybody's favorite superhero fighting game! One of my favorite characters of all time, Harley Quinn, is the absolute best character in this game. Plus, you can unlock cool costumes for everyone and upgrade your character as you go. It wasted my entire summer last year and I'm sure it can do the same for you.
