Mid-Day Discussion: Water-Cooler Games

Since it’s the day after an episode of Lost , it’s got me thinking about, well, what happens the day after an episode of Lost . Throughout the day, various people at G4 will crowd around someone’s desk as a theory about the show is laid out and dissected by those who agree, disagree or wish everybody around their desk would stop talking about Lost for once. But the water-cooler effect of Lost , which occurs regularly very week, isn’t something I’ve experienced with games all that often. Heavy Rain was the most recent water-cooler video game that I can remember. As different people started finishing the game, they’d scuttle off to corners of the office to talk about what did and didn’t happen to them, vainly attempting to avoid spoiling what happens for everyone else. Besides Heavy Rain , what video games have really gotten you and your friends talking? [image credit: flickr / minor9th ] Have something to share? Sitting on a news tip? E-mail me .
