Pretty much any puzzle game with a few exceptions.
I'd say life simulators aren't really violent unless your a jerk... then again, I also wouldn't call them much of a game.
In all fairness, you can technically consider any game non-violent (depending on how you play). Example, if you have the build-commands in L4D, you can just spend your time building a zoo to house the special infected in. That's not violent, but creative and fun. In SSBB, you can run around the stage and do other random crap aside from fighting. Granted, these aren't the main purpose of these games, but they're still fun to do.

Are we talking about a game in which the protagonist is non-violent, or one in which there is a total lack of violence.Grimplewurst said:

I'm sure there's SOME adventure game without violence... Unless you count crushing molecules and bacteria when walking.
A game of scrabble where you cant use offensive words, and you play against yourselfIron Mal said:
I cant tell if people are being sarcastic or not, but peoples definitions are violence seem to be expectionally broad, I suggest you look it up.
being able to crash your plane or car in a sim is no violence
What?? Portal?? You kill those poor turrets turrets and GlaDos and if that wasn't enough, you incinerate the Companion Cube!!Arsen said:
OT: I'm playing through World of Goo and Machinarium, and they seem pretty pacifist.
If you imagine god of war series as watermelon slicing contest, it gets very non-violent very fast.
on the serious note, I'd say Tetris or many puzzle oriented games, but not mainstream games.
maybe there are, but I really can't name any at the moment....
even simple games that are meant to be marketed to children like pacman or bubble bobble have some elements about them that if you look too much into it, it would be very very violent.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Hotel Dusk: Room 215
You don't commit any acts of violence in Portal, unless you count vandalism. But the people who censored ET might consider the presence of guns and the fact that they shoot at you might class it as violent.
There are quite a bit of games that aren't violent, must of them happen to be educational games though.

And even without the violence it is brilliant. This and Zoo Tycoon...though I think there is possible violence if like one of your fiercer animals gets let out accidentally (or not if the case may be).AlphaOmega said:
Also I agree with Audiosurf. Even more so if you play Ninja Mono.
