Even though the members of this forum (and the Internet in general) spend a lot of time tearing out each others' throats, there is one thing all of us here have in common - a love of gaming. However, I'm certain we all have different reasons for this. So I'm starting this thread to open up a discussion about what it is that attracts us to gaming. Any reason at all that you have for playing your favourite games is welcome, be it world design, character design, narrative or even the most simplistic of reasons like the controls and gameplay - [b]what is it that attracts you to your favourite games?[/b]
