Actually, I think Duke Nukem would be fun if you could shoot the pig like things that said that.

Yeah maybe hehe. But What if you COULDNT? What if you could only say, "Oh, thanks so much?"

"Most of the top successful games do not have volience, i'm sure you can get some ideas.

SIMS
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Tycoon games in general.
Sports games (Tiger Woods etc.. etc..)
Extreme Sports (TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER)
Racing Games (Gran Turismo)
Puzzles (Tetris)
Card Games (Poker, Hearts etc.)
and the list goes on and on.."

What? One of my favorite parts about The Sims was figuring out all of the different ways I could kill them: drowning, fire, boxing them into a room with no doors... And Tony Hawk has violence in it, if you consider all that blood that squirts out of the skaters when they bail (in most versions) is violent. All in all, though, it does depend on what you consider to be violence. And yes, I do think games that don't involve death can be interesting, although my favorite genres are adventure and RPGs, which basically always involve death in one way or another.

EDIT: Oh, you meant simulation games, not The Sims, didn't you? My bad
EDIT AGAIN: Or did you mean The Sims?... ah, never mind.
