side quests where you just run around looking for stuff. I like games that require working through some puzzles to get through with some action thrown in. My favorite games so far have been the zelda and metroid games. I'm playing Call of Duty: Black ops now and its fine (I'll finish the campaign), but I can't say it excites me that much.

FWIW, CoD is well known for having mediocre campaigns. Online is why it is so beloved. -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:46 18
- I'm not surprised, but the online thing doesn't interest me so much. Are there better campaign games you'd recommend? -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 15:48 12
  - Borderlands is a nice mesh of RPG and action shooter. It's also modular so you can play as much as you want in given installments. -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:50 8
    - I'll have to give that one a try. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 15:55 2
      - you can get the game of the year version for like 20 bucks now. - groiny Feb 13, 15:56 1
        
        very well worth it. QUite fun. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:09
    - Borderlands is the only campaign I have ever even come CLOSE to finishing. - groiny Feb 13, 15:53
    - it's also the funniest game I've ever played. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:52 3
      - its good, not Portal good, but good. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 13, 19:20
      - Have you played Portal/Portal 2? -- nm - David Feb 13, 16:12 1
        
        Because that game is your wheelhouse. -- nm - David Feb 13, 16:12
  - I haven't gone looking - I tend to concentrate that sort of single-player gameplay on indie titles like Limbo and Braid -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:49
  - Borderlands. Skyrim. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:49 1
    - oof, right, I need to start Borderlands -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:49
- yes, this. I have not even finished the campaign in Black Ops, but love multiplayer - groiny Feb 13, 15:47 2
  - I finished the campaign - I'd say it's one of the better CoD titles in terms of the campaign -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:48 1
    - I loved the campaign. Quite fun. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:09
- Yes, this is true. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:47 1
  - Huh. I'm surprised to read this. I have great affection for CoD. Perhaps I have a low bar for campaign 'quality'. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 16:23
