I've been looking over my main gaming pc recently and I've noticed I don't have a single game on there for playing when I want to just chill out; whereas my netbook is choc'a'bloc full of them. So I wondered what do you all play when you just want to relax and wind down and chill out?

Here's a list of a few of my choices:

Rollercoaster Tycoon,
Bust a Move 2 (psx emulated)
Point & Click Adventure Games
The Sims 2
Pharaoh (Wonder why of all this city builder series, GOG only has Caesar 3)
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.
Simcity 4,

Port Royale 2 is my current chill game. Whenever I just feel like relaxing, I just go trade fruit from San Juan to Antigua for a couple of hours at a nice, languid pace. :-)

when I just wanna chill and bro out I grab a cold natty ice, yell at whatever woman's in the kitchen to make me a steak, and boot up:

Prince of Persia (2008) - beautiful art and super smooth, easy freerunning
Burnout Paradise - just driving around instead of doing the races
Titan Quest Gold - kill, loot, repeat

in fact, I think I'll go have a chillfest right now

GTA San Andreas for sure, Midnight Club LA is pretty good street racing and Castlevania for the Nes, sounds kinda weird but I can play most of the game blindfolded now its a relaxing way to test my game reflexes.

Hmm, that would be Starcraft 1 and Civ 4.

Kinda odd but I find that they're chill out games for me.

The ultimate chill-out game for me is Osmos.

That game is very chilled.

Have to second Osmos and Titan Quest. Not much more "chilled" you can get, considering thought can be neatly abandoned.

Also Borderlands, odd as that may be.

Sins of a Solar Empire...a great game and its slow pace makes it very easy to just relax. I've even fallen asleep playing, to be honest.

Me, I like to chill out with some Minecraft.

I usually use my XBOX for chilling.

Conan and Rainbow Six Vegas right now

i play diablo 2 when i want to chill out just pick a char hack and slash or magic from act 1 to act 5 it never bores me out

For me it's an adventure game like Machinarium or EVE Online.

Also, Risen, for it's slow pacing, beautiful music and atmosphere.

Simcity 2000 or Theme Hospital. =)

I only play games to chill and im not listing 420 odd pc games and 70 360 games.

I meant to wind down with. It's not the same thing as recreation.... I have a huge catalogue of games but I wouldn't play say Wipeout HD when I want to wind down & switch off (say maybe an hour before bed); the music's too heavy, the game requires a lot of concentration and a lot of fast reflexes and it can be frustrating. There are different games for different moods just like other artistic mediums (e.g music & movies.)

Thanks to everyone so far for theres. Some surprising ones like the action rpgs but I understand that repetition is good for relaxation.
