I'm not talking about the portables, dlc's, or indi-games. What I am talking about is what mini games did you enjoy from a Main stream game?

For me, the one mini game I spent the most on, and VERY proud of, is Blitzball from FFX. I got so addicted and good at the game that by the next play through of FFX I was able to beat the professionals during the 1st game of Blitzball in FFX by 3 points. I felt so good being able to do that......yeah its a problem...LOL

I liked Pool in GTA IV. On the occasions where I needed to take a friend out, I'd usually go to play pool.

To be honest i hate minigames, i think a game should stand up on it's own for it to be good. Thats why i'm pissed at fallout new vegas. Minigames are simply a waste of resources that could be used for something else to integrate into the game.

Personally I prefer when they are just icing on the cake.

Please don't say "The cake is a lie" >_>.

Like Kirby & The Crystal Shards, the minigames were just extras.

Most developers don't get it...

THAT MUSIC!!!

When I first played this game, the platforms were invisible due to my graphics card screwing up. SOOOOOOOOO frustrating

One time I was playing Canis Canem Edit (Bully) round my friends house, went back to the dorms one night and we decided to go on one of the arcade machines. For anyone who remembers it was a top-down driving game that was ridiculously difficult. We then became determined to complete all 3 stupidly hard levels and hope we got some prize or something... We got paid like, $5 by the machine for winning and we'd played it all through the (gaming) night, so we were late and tired for lessons. Bad times, not really worth it, but a helluva lot of fun.

They can enhance immersion, so if done right they add to the game. I mean, what would Vegas be without gambling(at least I think that's what they'll put in as mini-games, I haven't really read about that so far).

Don't know if it counts as a "mini-game", but every time I play Oblivion, I always get distracted by some mushrooms, then some flowers, then I end up in a farm field picking all the veggies to make potions with.

Story? This game has a story!?
