Do you always feel the need to play a game yourself?

[Weedlab]

If it's a game that's not on my platform(s) of choice, then yes. If I'm unsure about the game, then yes. Some games I tend to get bored watching and much rather play though, like the stealth genre (Thief comes to mind).

Some genres I tend to get excited over - be it watching them or playing them. I tend to watch fighters and action games like Ninja Gaiden or DMC if the players are skilled.
