Hodge, you should look into getting the game "Animal Crossing". It's kind of hard to find for Gamecube now, I don't think they're making it anymore. But if you bought a Nintendo DS, you can get the game for that system. Nintendo DS is a hand held system in case you're wondering. A used system costs about 80 bucks (new about 130 I believe), and the game is about 30 bucks. Anyways, I play tons of games, but I understand what you mean about time limits and so on, that freaks me out sometimes. Animal Crossing is great for that though, it is a very slow game, very relaxing. I always play it when I'm stressed. It's similar to the Sims, if you've ever played that, but much cuter. :) You work in a shop, you talk to animals in your village, write letters, collect fossils and insects, go fishing... you even get to celebrate your birthday and other holidays; it plays in real time. It's one of my most favourite games. Very, very relaxing and EASY!
