Nintendogs

2006, Age 24

This was one of those games that I scoffed at, until I actually got around to playing it. There was something addictive about taking care of a little virtual dog, and training it, and playing with it. I suppose it appealed to the nurturing part of me.

The addiction was short lived...I devoted all my time to my virtual puppy for several weeks. Now I only see them when I take my DS traveling with me (they never die, just are really hungry and filthy).
