Yesterday, for some unknown reason, I was in a pretty deep funk. I just didn't feel like doing anything, let alone working, writing or moving.

I ended up trudging through my day and finally, at the insistence of Mike MC, powered up my consoles in search of a game that would rid me of my blues. The game that ended up working for me was Guitar Hero 2. I played through about 30 songs straight and afterward felt much better for it.

What other games, do you think, offer you the power to play your problems away? Brian Crecente
