World of Warcraft

The most popular massively-multiplayer game in the world sucks in millions of fans, often leaving non-gaming spouses and significant others neglected. So, while you're rare material farming, going on a massive raiding party or kicking back at an Azeroth Inn with some guild mate, your significant other may look for a new person to form a real-life party with.

The BioShock one is bull. You're incredibly violent in most games. You can kill far more innocent kids in Fallout... Besides, I AM a girl and I play those two constantly. And as for GOW, sometimes I like to swear along with the best of them ;)

This is the dumbest crap I've ever read (as a female). I play all these games. If you're getting super-offended over this stuff, you need a reality check. It's not video games that are ruining relationships, it's people. Get a grip folks!

wow I love how you think you people have the right to judge a game. Truly hillarious. Truly.

LOL, my favorite parts of this. 1. Most people who complain about people playing wow or any other game all day just watch TV all day like hypocrites. 2. All you people saying playing computer is a waste of life.... did so on a computer after sitting in front of it reading what people said. Very impressive. I hope someday I can be that hypocritical. You're my heroes. 3. Every person should do whatever they want with their life without ignorant people whining. I think all people in WoW should make threads about how all you people who go to drinking parties waste your lives. At least the people playing wow aren't out endangering peoples lives or making decisions that destroy their lives. But yeah, WoW is bad for society, not booze and drugs. 4. Game characters skanky attire? Ummmm, watch any TV show or movie for worse. Good game.
