Seems interesting to try. I'm used to watch TV shows in order to disconnect. Working out sounds like a good idea but I'm a little bit lazy. So I might try this advice. What games can you suggest for someone who used to play Doom and Need For Speed about 10 years ago? I need something not complex.
Play them all until you find something you like.
I played COD a little bit, modern games are just too hard. I need something fun and relaxing.
For a while my way to unwind after a rough day at work was to fire up GTA4, turn off the cell phone (to pause the story mode) and just drive around like a lunatic and blow stuff up. It's actually surprising just quite how effective this technique works to unwind.
