I absolutely hate going to the dentist. I would rather do a stint at a drug rehab center than have to spend one minute in the dentist’s chair. Still it’s a necessary evil that must be done on occasion. There are plenty of things that I’d rather do than go to the dentist. In fact there are some not so stellar games that I would gladly play(and enjoy it) than have to face the dentist.

Dr. Mario - While Dr. Mario is a great game, I mean who doesn’t love matching four in a row?, it can be so frustrating to play. The low levels are way too easy and slow while the higher levels are extremely difficult. There just doesn’t seem to be a nice medium for me and the good doctor.

Halo - I suck at Halo and always die. In fact, I think I might be the only player to have zero kills. Also, first person shooters are the worse game genre for me to play and enjoy.

Civilization - My husband absolutely adores Civilization. He plays Civ II like it’s the latest version of the game. Anyway we had the original back in our college days when we worked opposite shifts. Hubby worked nights and would come home at 7am and unwind by playing Civilization. The computer was at the foot of our bed and had no sound control. So instead of waking up around 9am to my alarm clock, I got to hear the horrible sounds of Civ at 7am in the morning. Needless to say, I loathed the game.

There aren’t too many games that I don’t enjoy on some level playing. But there are a select few that I would only rather play under special circumstances like avoiding the dentist.
