I've played a lot of good and bad games in my time, and I have to say that most of the bad ones had something to do with animals. The first disaster that springs to mind has to be 'Silicon Valley' at first, I thought this game had potential and that I could really get into it and have some good fun, a big mistake, but I was only young, it turned out to be a large t**d on my nice polished console! The concept was unique but I think this was only the case because no one else was stupid enough to go through with the idea and produce it!
The next game on my love list has got to be 'Black & White' this is an amazing game, I love these types of command and conquor games, where everyones rules by your finger and you can kill anyone you want by a click of the button, putting mindless amonuts of lives at risk and in stupid situations which could only be survived if you were a huge polar bear, oh wait, you are in this game, well ok, that puts a new spin on the bottle and gives a new lease of life into these types of sim.
It's always tempting to crush people and get the tiny civilians to fight you, with hilarious outcomes, if I had to spend lots of hours playing a game where you could do nothing but cause havoc to little people lives, then this would be my first port of call. Since Silicon Valley I always thought that animals in games would be a no go area, but this definatly prooves me wrong, and i'm more than happy to admit it, I went all the way and read a review on it! call me mad.
Animals aren't bad, and shouldn't be mistreated.

WHOOOOOOOO since when was Silicon Valley bad?

Are you mad it is an excellent game, hugley addictive, great variety and ridiculously funny. Are you mad.

Actually I got the N64 in 1998 and i wanted Silicon Valley more than Zelda, I don't think it is better but SV is a star game and with the makers of Body harvest behind it it must be good.

Not sure what happened there, i was going to write more but that got posted by itself. Strange.

Anyway, i was going to say that B&W is hilarious!

I took my monkey for a walk to show my mate what the game was like.

I picked up a villager and threw him away. My monkey had the leash of learning on, which i forgot about.

I wleft the computer to get a drink, when i came back my monkey was chasing all the villagers around and throwing them into the sea, laughing all the time!
