I would not like to live in Silent Hill, that's for sure. First of all, all of that siren wailing... no thank you. Second, everyone I have ever known that's gone there has suffered horrible headaches that seem to transport them to some viral plane where evil, skinless, two-headed dogs try to eat them. Third, aside from the evil, skinless, two-headed dogs, there are some nasty zombies in Silent Hill. And it always feels like every time someone comes up on them there is just not enough ammo to go around. Have you ever tried bashing zombies with a crowbar? Talk about arm pain!

I'll visit Silent Hill from the safe confines of my sofa, maybe an armchair, but I'd never actually step into the place. You couldn't pay me enough to go there in person.

The Sims. Because it would cause an existential crisis to live in a universe with overly complicated relationships, sometimes ironic and sometimes random-seeming twists, constant consequence for bad choices, the constant need to work hard to get anything worth having, and the fact that your desires and how you imagine yourself mean practically nothing in the the face of reality.

The world of Mario!

Why? Well, I know they are a bunch of colourful characters - but if I were in one - then it would be most uncomfortable.

Can you imagine having to hit your head against big blocks of brick every so often? What about having to die and come back to life again. The pain! And those mushrooms will definitely make you feel sick!

Consequently - what is the best?

Definitely, it would be PS3 Home or Second Life. With PS3 Home having comfortable lifestyle of communication and relaxation and Second Life letting you have a second life - these are two of the best options!

I am refuting your "Fact Refuted" - its my opinion. It is not a fact that Sims 2 is the best game! (Well maybe...find a source to prove it darcy - and I will fall merciful to your ingenious answering skills)

It would suck to live in the post-nuclear war world from Fallout 3. Imagine living in a world without any living plants and dangerous creatures infesting the land. There would also be raiders and slavers tring to constantly capture you and your family.

Dr. Mario

Every second you would encounter a new virus. You would be stuck in this world, and it would be contagious.

Tetris. Sure the back ground changes every now and then but the steady falling blocks and inane music would make existence a living hell.

Plus, I'd have not arms or leg or other extremities. Bad deal all around.

Hey, that music is classic! It's like the Super Mario Bros. music from the first game. It stays with you forever. I'll be on my deathbed in 60 years and I'll still be able to hum the tune if somebody asked.

Pacman.

Unlike ravers, I do not want to be in dark mazes running away from ghosts eating pills and the occasional cherry (I'm allergic) while listening to loud hear-melting techno music. All in the mean time your wife is never around.

I'm going to go with Doom on this one. I just don't think it would be that fun fighting zombies and such from heck, and then going personally to heck to go shut down some portal or whatnot. It'd sure be great fun on a tour bus, with everybody leaning out the windows with pistols, shotguns, and rocket launchers to stop zombies from overrunning the bus (ah, the memories!). And I only get one life, as opposed to the protagonist in Doom, who has an infinite number. I don't think I'm going to try out those odds for survival.

Let's examine, for a moment, the world of Pokemon. At first glance, it seems to be a happy place- children with small fuzzy animals for companions wandering around to prove their skills.

The reality is much more shocking. First of all, let's examine the process of catching and training Pokemon. Generally, young children are sent out to catch these dangerous animals. The world of Pokemon is a dangerous place, with many deadly animals roaming the wilderness. The children are sent out with little regard for their safety.

These child laborers capture the animals using the cruelest of methods. Animals are imprisoned in small, cramped spheres. Many are held for extended periods in these conditions, barely clinging to life. Most will remain in captivity for the remainder of their lives.

What happens next is even more disturbing. The animals are forced to fight each other in brutal battles, resulting in grave injury. The animals fight until one loses consciousness. This brutal practice is common, and many fans delight in watching these savage brawls.

The world of Pokemon may seem like a good place to live, but the reality is very different. This is, by far, the worst video game world to live in.

I actually used to daydream about living in Pokeland, years ago when I actually woke up at 8 every morning just to watch the TV show and then go back to sleep till noon. (Before the days of Tivo and DVR) >.> You have not changed my mind!

I guess I can't win over all the die-hard fans, but everyone else needs to face the disturbing reality!

If you think about it, the only people that would care would be hippies and the Pokemon, fighting like this is much better than being turned into Pika-food.

I would not like to live in Asteroids! I mean, when does the pilot get to land? What is his destination? When does the nightmare end? The hurtling rocks just keep coming, and coming, as you spin in dizzying circles attempting to shoot and dodge, until your reflexes fail you...! ;)
