Which of these three consoles do you like best (give a reason).
Also, lets see who can name
A) 10 good games for Xbox
B) 10 good games for GCN
C) 10 good games for Ps2
D) 5 good games of any one genre for any one console.

The people who manage to do this and have my approval will win a free imaginary trip to the second floor of my birdcage.

Note: i am not biased in any way towards any of the 3 consoles (thats becuase i play my SNES more then my GCN, my Ps2 or my Xbox)

Who needs 10 good games? XBox isn't very good. It only has Halo, and everyone knows FPS are better on PC. GameCube I don't know much about. And PS2 has, well...quite a few good games...GTA3, GTA:VC (which are now on other consoles...), MGS, all of the FFs (however many there are on PS2 now), the first online capabilities, plus the best line of sports games. PS2 sports games are much better than any other console. However, the clear winner is PC with games like BF42, GR, RvS, AA:O (which is free), CoD, The Sims seems to be popular, Civ3, C3C, and lots of people play CS and EQ which I don't really like either, but that's 10, and I'm sure there are plenty more.

I think that the Xbox is a better system but PS2 definitl has more and better games. If I can get a game for my Xbox instaed of PS2 I do. Xbox just has a more durable feeling controler with the touch sensitive shoulders. And the music on it is nice too. But the Ps2 has better games, like the GTA series. And if one person says the only good Xbox game is Halo.....

PS2 has the best games but is the worst built system.

BTW, I recently sold my gamecube and bought a ps2. :D
I sold the GC because although is is built very well, it lacks the good games and online capabilities. And I picked PS2 over X Box because PS2 has so many better games.

What I don't like about ps2:
1)controllers aren't very touch sensitive
2)takes way too long to load

A person that sells a GameCube because it doesn't have any online games is a person that doesn't have any friends.

Make sure you include the Atari 2600, for us from a more innocent generation.

PS2 has some good games but it's a REALLY bad built system,
The XBOX is just a PC and doesn't have that much going for it.
The GameCube is a great System with Great Games.
Splinter Cell ,Rouge Leader Rebel Strike,Burnout
Games that are on all 3 systems tend to be a bit more refined on the cube.
I love that controller.
Not to Mention wonderful 1st party support!

The gamecube is much better then Xbox and the PS2. Wanna know why?

Simply because the gamecube has never given me any problems and i haven't had to send it back, compared to when i threw my PS2 out of the window because the laser had failed SOOOOO many times.

Thats Another great point.
The XBOX is kinda durable just kuz it will crush anything it falls on :P

Overall I would have to say that the PC is the best out of all the gaming platforms. But for the poll, the PS2 is my pick for the best console.

heh the PC is great.
But a Analog Stick Feels more natural.
The PS3 is going to try to be a PC.
Which I know it will fail.
One Teraflop? I bet sony is full of shit.
PC's will always pull more power than a console.
I read someware they want to make PC's based on CELL.
Which is stupid. kuz x86 will probably be faster and you can bet PPC will be better.
