Ok, as before i will see if people can name 10 quality games on any system.

Points go to
A) the most quality games you can name for any one system.
B) an unbiased view of any console and a reason to tell me why you bought your console.
C) 5 quality games of any one genre on any one console

A - worth 1 point per quality game over 10.
B - worth anywhere from 1 - 10 points
C - worth 5 points for everyone above 5

i will edit this post and show everyone who is the most game guru-ish of them all!

Also, sometimes i will enter a random trivia question about a game or a system. the
first person to answer will get 2 points.

BTw, i can't even enter 8 poll options!!

Zwange, your new official score for beung biased against one of the console is -10.
This puts you as a complete and utter idiot in terms of the console gaming world.

This topic isn't for biased people such as you Zwange, it is for intelligent people who want to discuss their favoured newt-gen console and have a literate argument.
Please, leave this topic at once.

There are plenty of games for every console. Most of what I see on Ps2 or Xbox is pure and utter crap, so don't complain because of your biased views.

I'm not hostile, i just get angry at people who diss a console without saying why, what the dislike and in non-offensive language. (ok so i'm offensive)
I own all 3 consoles, and the games on each are all great fun to play, but Nintendo stole my heart (with the Wind Waker) Then again, 2 weeks ago i got VC for Ps2 and I liked that best. I fluctuate a lot.

And? you really have to play games to enjoy them. Then again, the SNES had (and still has) the best RPG lineup of all the consoles

I bought an XBox (well, asked for it for Christmas) because a) It has the only controllers I like and am comfortable using. b) It has HALO. c)It has HALO 2 soon. d)Games that are on both X and PS2 look better and perform better on XBox. e) Xbox Live! is a great online system.

well i STILL play my old snes. it just had WAY too many games to be played in one lifetime, but for modern day consoles, i have to say that the PC is the best and will always be the best. because consoles get old,and they have to come up with new ones to fit with newr technology. but they will still be making pc games. anyways, the pc is the ONLY system which can handle huge environments. you wouldnt find the elder scrolls 3 on playstation 2, would you? and even though it was released on the X Box, it didnt come wiht the construction set {only for the pc version} which let you create new NPCs, races, spells, items, quests, ect.

also, the pc holds what just might be the greatest lineup of upcoming games:

half-life 2
rome:total war
S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Men of Valour: Vietnam
The new Call of Duty game
Thief 3
and much, much, more

also, the pc has the best online gaming EVER, and i dont think that it could ever be beat.

The DS looks alright, has even some nice games...but it really isn't my thing.

The PSP, however, can play movies, games, music....god I want it!

I like Gamecube, but just barely above the others.

Personally, they all have games I like. I look forward to a future inwhich there is only ONE game consol that takes ALL games. I hate only being able to play SOME of the games I like because the others are on other systems.

Zwange, you are obviously lying. There was a great Zelda game on the SNES.
And there were also great TOLZ games on the NES.

There is no one system with a 'better' games lineup then any other. People might say
"Gamecube sux, ima pwniator j00!!1!1" but it doesn't prove anything. I argued with one guy against his view that Xbox was better then Ps2 and GCN for 7 hours. We had no end to our argument.

I love my GameCube, mainly because the games are just downright fun to play, which is the most important thing, after all.

My favorite games:
Super Smash Bros Melee
Eternal Darkness (for me the best horror game ever!)
Metroid Prime
F-Zero GX
Star Fox Adventures
Sonic Adventure 2 / Sonic Heroes
Mario Party 4 & 5
Mario Kart Double Dash
Zelda: Wind Waker
Soul Calibur 2 (not GC exclusive, but it's got Link!)

The only downside with GC is the lack of good RPG's, but luckily some great ones are upcoming:

Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos

Actually, video games help to enhance coordination skills and such, especially in children. In any case, it's better than just sitting in front of the TV just watching.
