No. God put man on this earth because He wanted friends. He loves us so much that He even sent His Son to die on our behalf when we sinned and deserved the penalty of death. He wants to be our friends and know us personally. He couldn't love us any more than He does now.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Completely true.
Is like the game "Life" only that we are the figures in the game board.
I just want to know, why God needs us? Is not fun I don't know what is. Creating humans to suffer and feel guilty just because somebody make a mistake 6,000 years ago is not funny at all.

I agree that God is all-knowing and all-powerful and yet even with this characteristic He did try to associate himself with our limitations and weaknesses.
When Jesus comes to earth it wasnt to display His authority and power it was the antonyms of what man would like to project in this life. He died on the cross so that we could have a chance to claim back what humanity had lost when sin entered into the world. On the third day however He demostrated His power and authority above all things, even unto death.
Is this answer off to the question, this is not. What i am trying to convery is that God loves human, it is the only creation he made that was special - in that we are created in His own likeness and image.
We posses characteristic that are same as what He had. One of the important attribute that I would like to point out is our ability to create. God is a creator of beautiful things, in Genesis he was glad of what he had made. And so is man, we have the ability to make good or evil things. We could decide to do what is right or to mistreat other human beings. This is what what they refer to as the 'human will' and God honors this 'will thing' that He didnt make us robots or something that could just be following or doing what he wants to do (although He always had good things in mind for us and warns us the effect of doing things that are contratry to what is good)
But the very good thing out of this is that, even if we do things negatively in our lives or we make decisions that could destroy our lives, He still makes ways so that this very negative thing could turn out to be good for us on the future - however this things could only happen if one belives by faith that He will do it.
It isnt magic or something but its all attributed to trust. If you trust a person to do you good things, you dont question why things are being done in that or this way. But it is the question of How should i behave on the situation.
God never try to manipulate us, on the other hand he gives us the ability to either do what is beneficial to all or do things that will be only for our own benefit.
God had given us gift and abilities - these are often refers to as potentials. We could as what i am saying use this potential to be a better person or to be in bitter with other person, by just thinking most of our selves. We always tend to think what we could get or benefited out of some situation even when there are people who are negatively affected by it. And this isnt right, where as if we think of a win-win situation where your act helps to build the other person or situation that is beautiful.
God never is bored. You should start reading about Him. The Bible is His testimony and you sure will learn a lot about Him on that books.
Let me hear what you think of this and I will give you more answer to your queries.
Im hoping this would enlighten you in any way
On His service,

Well, that's entirely possible. We could be elements in some universe sized version of The Sims or Civilization or "Earth".
That's the premise of the movie "Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe".
