As a rule I don't like video games. I suck at them and find them very frustrating...There are exceptions to the rule such as mario cart and donkey kong. Having said that I really like burnout 3. I'm good at it. I can crash into shit with the best of them, but I spent half an hour on one event today and finally gave up. I wanted to throw the controller into the tv screen. I've never been so angry at a piece of machinery in my life. 
I agree I like the old nintendo games, tetras I could play for hours, but these new games halo and such I just get bored before I figure them out.
