one of those wii / DS trauma center games! at least if the doctors mess up your operation you can have a go yourself, assuming your illness gets to that stage.
Wow. At first I thought "Why would you play a game where you're in the worst situation ever and everything's trying to kill you?" Then I realized that you'd be looking at someone that had it worse than you! Add the addictive gameplay and you've got a winner.
Stage 5-2 might not be for anyone with a stomach bug, however...
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 preferably. Being able to decide the fate of thousands even whilst being ill, add in some maniacal sore throat/blocked nose laughs and you'll be better in not time.
Stay away from Theme Hospital though... Exploding heads, people chucking up etc.
Oh well, watching Jeremy Kyle and Come Dine With Me doesn't make me feel better when i'm sick, in fact, when I'm fine it MAKES me sick! For all who don't know what these shows are, they are the usual "day time shite tv" that's always on when you're sick and have nothing else to do here in the UK/Ireland.
I want to play games that get me in a good mood when I'm sick. I also don't want to strain my neck to watch a TV for hours on end if I'm lounged out on a couch. Therefore, I'd say the only console games I'd play are the manic-depressive combination of We Love Katamari (or Katamari Forever) and Demon's Souls (thanks, Hellsvacancy - see above for why). After that, it's all handheld. DQ IX, the ridiculously-addictive and sunny Pokemon series, and Suikoden on the PSP! If only they released Suiko II...
I don't agree with the writer about FFXIII. This person obviously didn't play the game enough - say what you will about the overall quality of the game, but it involves a giant amount of team-dynamics thought on-the-fly once you have your teams together and you're presented with some real challenges. It's a game I'd stay far away from when I'm sick.
best games to play when your ill???
any, what ever you want to play, pointless article
the take your medicine and sleep game.
I'm ill at the moment and I sure as hell don't want to play any games just want to sleep and what bad daytime tv
Medicine, lots of liquids, and laying in bed watching reruns of Family Guy. Video games takes a break.
I remember playing Chuck Rock on the Megadrive as a kid once when I was really ill, hated the game after that, it reminded me of been really ill.
