1. Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon is basically FarmVille on steroids. The object of the game is to revive a run-down farm, but it gets more involved as you get further into the game. With over 15 titles to its name, the series involves adorable farm animals, townsmen with buzzing personalities, and attractive marriage prospects. The best part is that you get to decide how to spend each day. You can toil on your farm or bring wine to your crush. It's entirely up to you. And in the more recent titles, you can choose to be male or female.

2. Rune Factory

From the same creators of Harvest Moon, Rune Factory was made for the more adventurous. The characters are still as cute as ever and you still build relationships with your neighbors, but you're not farming anymore--instead you tame monsters and fight in dungeons.

3. LittleBigPlanet

It is a puzzle platformer, which means that you advance through the game by solving puzzles. There is a lot of user-created content that you can download which gives you endless hours of fun.

4. Cooking Mama

Which girl doesn't like a good story? The Final Fantasy RPG series is beautifully crafted, and full of vibrant characters and wonderful, linear hours of gameplay. If you haven't played any, start with FFIX. The cartoonish animation and easy-to-grasp controls will definitely transform your mind about RPGs.

6. Kingdom Hearts

If you are a Walt Disney fan, then you must check out Kingdom Hearts. From the creators of the Final Fantasy games, Kingdom Hearts takes you on countless journeys through your characters' worlds.

7. The Sims

Like to customize things and play with people's lives? In The Sims series, you can customize everything from your nose bridge to your wallpaper. Be a model who lives for lust or a successful doctor who plays golf on the weekends. With the many expansion packs, you'll never get bored of your fake lives as you do of your real life.

8. Katamari Damacy

Katamari Damacy is based off of a simple idea: to rebuild the cosmos. You roll around a magical, adhesive ball called a katamari and collect objects from small to large. The objects range from donuts to people to continents, and eventually, constellations. Its humor, originality, and colorfulness are what makes this game worth playing.

9. The Simpsons: Road Rage

This game is over 10 years old and its age shows through the poor graphics, but if you're just getting started with gaming, this is a nice game to begin with. Your goal is to drive around town, pick up passengers like a taxi, and deliver them to their destination under the time allotted. Simple and straightforward, this game takes one of your daily actions (driving) and turns it into a competition against the clock.

10. Pokemon

Nothing beats the original Pokemon games, but the newest ones aren't too bad, especially if you haven't played a previous title before. The story lines aren't as spectacular as other RPG games, but it's easy to understand and fun to explore towns. Who knows? Maybe you were born to "catch 'em all".
