"Feel Good" games?

[Tellis]

Sorry if this is a bit of a necropost or whatever, but I'd add Elite Beat Agents, at least on the easier difficulties. Just picked it up and it's such a fun and happy little rhythm game. Just hold off on the Christmas level until you're prepared for an incredibly light-hearted game to suddenly throw you a curve-ball in the form of a pretty heavy story.

(maybe I should check out the other Ouendan games some time...?)

Tales of Vesperia. I just have so many good memories with that game since it was my first 360 game, and I would spend hours on end just grinding or messing around, certainly on my all time favorites list

No More Heroes. I love going through that game just dominating the bosses when I'm in a bad mood. Something about chopping peoples heads off and watching the geyser of blood that results just relieves stress for some reason

Gonna have to agree with these whole-heartedly. Too much fun to just run around and hit stuff in Vesperia. And yeah, NMH and its sequel are great stress-relievers, I'm with ya there
