Your Video Game Guilty Pleasure?

We all have them, a video game that we don't want anyone to know about. Lock your door, shut off the lights, put on headphones and keep the remote nearby just in case. 
 
Mine usually are RPGs in general, with Final Fantasy leading the way. Very few of my friends respect Final Fantasy games and being seen playing a feminine boy with a large sword hanging out with some chick barely wearing clothes sometimes comes off wrong. 
 
So what's yours?

Casual games, the most recent being the Cooking Dash series (which is an offshoot of the Diner Dash series).

Kingdom hearts, It's so childish and japanese, but I love it...

Monster Rancher. I'm super pumped for the new DS release.

The WWE games, most recently Legends of Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania is a game that is repetitive, super-easy and somewhat boring yet I've put a ton more hours into that game than I have for Bioshock, Brutal Legend and Uncharted combined.

Starcraft and CoD4. I get too competitive and I used to end up wasting entire weekends with those damn games.

I swear if someone says Pokemon I'll kick them through the Internet.
 
I don't think I have a "Guilty Pleasure" game, to be honest. At least none of my games get to the point where I'd hide myself to play them.

h-games.. i am ashamed slightly. 

Not quite sure...maybe Bookworm Adventures...
 
Also, I have an urge to play Sonic Chronicles...I haven't played it yet, so I guess that it counts as a pre-emptive guilty pleasure =/

Well it used to be DDR/In The Groove for me, but that's back in the day when it was good and wasn't taken over by goth kids (at least in my area).  
 
@Capum15: Sadly mine is Pokemon. 
 
I'll take my kick when you would like so we can get it over with

Dynasty warriors series. Don't ask me why I like it but I do. I understand the game is pretty terrible but there is something about it that hooks me in. It's probably the hope that one day they turn that game into something really awesome. Kind of a shame that they are squandering a pretty awesome story. I dream of a Dynasty warriors with complex, visceral, and visually stunning combat. Until then, I'll play Dynasty warriors every once in a while and feel guilty about it afterward.

I still kinda enjoy Pokemon, and will probably get Heart Gold/Soul Silver eventually. Yes I am a sucker.

Peggle.
Plants vs Zombies. 
...
Solitare...

I've been playing alot of WoW lately....fuck

Chips Challenge. Ski Free.

I really like games with stupid concepts. Like Rouge Warrior and Blood on the Sand.

Mine is Cooking Mama's and Pokemon.

I love bad game demos. Outside of sports games, I will play any demo. I don't care how dumb the game is or how bad impressions have been. Xbox Live makes it so easy to download them I might as well give them a shot. It's not like on the PC where I have to worry about games leaving behind save data after uninstall, or even having to run an installer. I don't have to check specs or worry about rebinding keys when I get the game. I can just play. New demo on Live? Go! 
 
And you know what? The worse the game, the better. If I'm really interested in a game and the demo confirms that I want it, great. If a game ends up garbage I can have some fun picking it apart without being bummed out about wasted effort or money.

I spent a whole week finding the perfect feebas with decent IV, correct nature and egg moves. Then I EV trained it, leveled it up to 50 and evolved it into the perfect Milotic. No remorse, that thing was a beauty. 
 
There's not a particular game that's a guilty pleasure of mine but I feel a bit guilty for being such a huge powergamer. Especially in RPGs I often skip quite a bit of the story and spoil bits here and there by trying to min/max my characters. I think I googled most quest rewards in Fallout 3 because I just wanted the best stuff available. For most games I'll eventually look for a guide so I don't miss anything, possibly having to start a new game (Persona 3 comes to mind).

hmm not really ashamed of any games... Wow I guess, but thats more of a "i hate myself for playing" kind of thing :P

I'm going to tell Ayane you're cheating on her. :P  

"The countless DBZ fighting games, though I haven't bought one since Tenkaichi 3..still...the shame is there. "

Pokemon games.

Endless Ocean

Animal Crossing.

Restaurant City on Facebook.

I got really intense with halo 3 for awhile, i was trying to get my lone wolves to 45 and i couldn't get it to go up past 43.  i got pretty mad, smashing a controller mad and then when it when down to 42 after losing 1 game after like 5 1st or 2nd games in a row i quit.

I can waste entire days playing The Sims.

Fucking Peggle and Pokemon. Goddamn those games to all hell, but I love them too much =(

Someday I'll kick the fighting game habit... each sequel adds so precious little, and yet there I am, throwing more money at it...

I guess I attempted to make my WoW playing as much of a secret as possible (or at least deemphasized how much I played it).
 
Nowadays I have no game that I am ashamed of. Not even Blood on the Sand.

I've been on and off WoW for over 3 years now, I always seem to go back to it in the end.
 
My latest excuse is to get my characters all to level 80 before Cataclysm, as being late to the party in a MMO is excruciating.

bayonetta and majesty games, lol

• I am a sucker for excessive gore. 
• I am also a sucker for casual games.
• I don't like Zelda very much, nor Metroid. 
• I like to position the camera / control the character in a way that is cinematically pleasing, even though it might not always be the fastest / most efficiant style.
• If I could make video game developers portray women in a less retarded and sexualized fashion by paying them a huge amount of money, I would.
