Game to play while listening to the Bombcast?

Hey so while listening to the Bombcast, I like to play games. Right now I'm playing the original Skate for the 360. But the thing is it's kinda getting old.
 
So here's the deal. I have some about 30$ to spend on a game (used, of course). I need a game that requires absolutely no thinking at all. Skate is good for that, as I can just skate around. Basically, I just need something to look at. I'm thinking about buying Skate 2, but do you guys have any other suggestions?

I'd recommend not playing a game while listening to the Bombcast. You could miss a hilarious moment.

TrackMania Nations Forever: It's a free download for the PC. Great podcast game.

I usually play something turn based like Civ 4 while listening to podcasts.

Well, I have a psp, so I usually play God of War Chains of Olympus on the hardest difficulty. I can never get very far though lol

My job sucks.

I play warcraft 3 while listening to the bombcast. What consoles do you have?

forza 2 or Saints row 2 work for me

• Street Fighter 4
• Shadow Complex

I used to play Far Cry 2 while listening to the podcast. Since you have to travel so much in that game and since the voice acting was so atrocious.

I cant play videogames while listening to the bombcast
 However, i can play FF10 while listening to the bombcast. Turn based combat :P
Maybe an RPG?

you should get some good open world game then, the kind where you can just have fun. Saints row 2 comes to mind, cant think of anything more awesome than spraying houses with feces while listening to the Bombcast!

Anything driving for me. Burnout Paradise, Burnout Revenge and FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage have all been great titles to play while listening to the guys.

Saints Row 2
Fallout 3
Shadow Complex
Far Cry 2
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 
 
And when your are going through dungeons in Persona 4.

I dug out Dead Space again, so i might continue playing that while listening.

I enjoy the Sims 3 while listening to the Bombcast or any podcast.  Since there is no schedule to adhere to I can pause the game at anytime or just let my Sims do their thing for a while as I focus on the boy's conversation.  I can't play action games, which leaves out most of the console offerings, while listening to podcasts.

Fallout 3 or any sports game.

Its already been said but I find WoW to be one of the best possible podcast games. In fact I don't play WoW unless I have a podcast in the background. Other than that, anything that's kinda mindless is great so you don't have to put much concentration into playing. The biggest stipulation is that there are as few words/reading as possible as it's obviously the same part of the brain involved in listening to the bombcast. Burnout paradise works well as does CoD4 multiplayer.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 
 
It's one of those games that you can play without having to worry about missing story elements or something like that.  For being almost ten years old, it's still one of my favorite games to go back to.

I listen to the bombcast at work on my iphone, so usually I'm playing Word Ace or Geo Defense or something like that.

Whatever game I'm currently playing, where I either don't care for the story, or I've already finished it.

i find its easy to listen to the bombcast while playing forza 2

Crackdown has always been my Go-To Bombcast listening choice. Burnout Paradise is a close second since the music in that game sucks as a rule. also Prototype.

MvC
 
i try going for those arcade trophies

I personally can't play a game while listening to the Bombcast.
I mean I can, but if I do I tend to zone out and get absorbed into the game and just kind of phase out the sound of the Bombcast.
So yeah. I don't game. I set aside the couple of hours a Bombcast generally goes for, lay down and let it's awesome wash over me.

Wii Sport
then you don't have to use your precious gaming hour for exercise.

Racing/Fighting games work really well. Really any games you dont have to listen to a storyline or something in 

• Forza 2
• Dirt
• Street Fighter IV
• Geometry Wars

I've been playing Need for Speed Most Wanted lately and if you don't already have that, then you might be able to get it new for less than $30.  Not much thinking involved in that game.

" Burnout Paradise.

I can't play Dead Space with podcasts on, I feel like I'm missing out on the atmosphere. "

That is true, but i have already beaten it 3 times before, so i don't feel i'm missing that much. "

I usually play GTA4 while listening to the bombcast.

For my 8th-9thish playthroughs of mass effect i listened to the bombcast, it's a bit annoying pausing for the fun parts though

Lately Trine for me has been a pretty good podcast game. Pretty awesome game in general.

Any online multiplayer game, Crackdown, Burnout Paradise, and most any arcade game.

Trials HD is my ULTIMATE podcast game.  
 
One of my favorite games without a podcast too.

I haven't been playing anything while listening to recent bombcasts, but I used to play a lot of puzzle games. Tetris, Peggle, Hexic, and other stuff games like that.

How about mario kart wii? I always used to play that while i listened to another podcast (CAGcast) before I started listening to gaintbomb

Grind on some MMO, its a great thing to do while listning to stuff

Pretty much whatever I play on the subsequent playthroughs (Persona 3, for instance) or on multiplayer game that I've played a lot, like CoD 4.
