Which games consoles do you play?

[Roger]

The poll allows multiple answers, and is a public poll.

So are you into Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo DS, PSP, PC (not a console, I know) something retro, or maybe you're like me and you love the Wii.


I like the fact I can exercises on my Wii and that it is a totally different gaming experience.

I like a lot of games on it, especially sports and fitness games, like:

Wii Fit
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics
Big Beach Sports
Sports Island

The one game I want on the Wii is a cricket game. It is just so made for it. Big Beach Sports has Beach Cricket and that has only whetted my appetite more.

For a lot of gaming I still use my PC. I have 100's of games, like:

Close Combat Cross of Iron.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Rome: Total War
Freedom Force vs The Third Reich
Battlefield Vietnam
Guild Wars LOTR: The Battle for Middle Earth
Warhammer 40K Dawn Of War


So what do you like about your console(s), and what games do you like best on it?

[rogerSIMIAN]

No N64 or GameCube on the list there, I see, Roger. Tsk. :) I still play those sometimes but more often it's my PS2 and Nintendo DS.

The first game I ever played (apart from Tetris or Chucky Egg) was "GoldenEye" on the N64 in the late 90s - trying it out on a friend's console. That pretty much converted me into a gamer (not a very good one - but I have fun).

I mostly like silly games and platformers. My favourite are -

**N64**
DonkeyKong64
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
MarioKart64
SuperMario64


**GameCube**
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
MarioKart: DoubleDash
Pikmin 1 & 2


**PS2**
Grand Theft Auto III
GTA: San Andreas
GTA: Vice City
Ratchet & Clank 1-3 + Gladiator


**NINTENDO DS**
Brain Training II
MarioKart DS
My French Coach
My Spanish Coach
SuperMario64 DS

Current gaming addiction

Just over gaming addiction
Age of Conan

Past gaming addictions

I don't count TMU/TMO as gaming - I don't own it for the tycoon mode.

I do own a Wii and Gamecube. I like Monkeyball. And Mario Party - the fun factor increases with each drink you have!

That must be why you want to know about everyone's WOW movies eh.

And I agree with you RogerS. GoldenEye was a classic as was mariocart. The 64 was a great console. You ever play that one adult game for the 64 about a hungover squirrel? Cant remember the name but it was oodles of fun. Parodied a boatload of great movie scenes (Matrix, Aliens) and had its own amusements such as tossing toilet paper rolls at a giant piece of Sh*t while he vomits corn at you while singng opera. Plus there was a cool Teddy Bears at war multiplayer thing.

I was personally as PS man myself though. Twisted Metal, Tomb Raider, GTA and Madden. Cant wait to get my hands on the new Madden. Havent played since 2004 so Im looking forward to it.

lol I remember that game! It's freakin hilarious.

Golden Eye was an awesome game. Hopefully it will be released as a Virtual Console game on the Wii.

Talking of the virtual console on the Wii, there are some great games I have downloaded:

Mario Kart 64
Super Mario Bros 3

[Kit06]

I am in a Football Manager 2008 craze. I cannot stop playing it. I am a football whiz mostly. I am also a Halo 3 and GTA 4 player, I can't stop! Help! :eek:

[rogerSIMIAN]

Oh, I'll need to track down "Conker's Bad Fur Day" - it'd give me a good excuse to hook up the N64 again.

The Wii Virtual Console sounds cool, Roger. Am I right in saying you just pay a few quid and download old games onto the Wii?

Yeah that's about the size of it. :)

I have had other consoles in the past:

Grandstand (http://retrogamescatalog.com/acatalog/Grandstand_Console_Games.html) (1970's console)
Commodore 64
Sinclair 128k
NES
Megadrive (Genesis in the USA I believe)
SuperNes
N64
PS1
Game Boy Advance (Actually I currently have one, but I forgot I had it. :p)

[Nero]

Ooo The MegaDrive .....so many good memories (Street Fighter i remember most fondly) , they don't make'em like they used to.

A lot of the old Megadrive games can be downloaded on the Wii. I have Sonic the Hedgehog, and Street Fighter 2. They also have Street Fighter 2 Turbo on there, and several Neo Geo games too. :cool:

[FredTheDuck]

Game Boy Advance (Actually I currently have one, but I forgot I had it. :p)Yeah, I found mine the other day too... along with Pokemon Fire Red, Harry potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Simpsons Road Rage.... although I'm sure I had a robot wars game at some point :p

And I'd actually forgotten that Pokemon was such a good game... I mean, yeah, it's crap, but it's addictive, and the "ding!" I get when my Charizard levels up still makes me smile...:p
Sad, right? :rolleyes:
*insert paranoid smilie here*

[Tremblett]

I was a Sony man, but the PS3 was just dissapointing...
So I hooked up the 360 :)

[BenTuttle90]

I own a Super Nintendo(MISSING), Nintendo 64, Playstation(NOT WORKING), PS2 (BROKEN), and a Xbox (HAS THE INFAMOUS RED RING, BUT STILL WORKING FINE)...
I went through 2 Gamecubes (Planned Obscelence), but me and my little brother bought another one in good condition for $30. So now I am back playing Resident Evil 4 now. Hooray!

[Roger]

If any of you Wii owners want to add me to your friends, my Wii number is 2560 2292 4695 1113.

I even have a Mii of Ken! :taz:

[Guesty81]

I own all 3 of the main consoles, although I play mainly on the 360, especially through their 'Summer of Arcade' which has seen some absolute classics being released!

Just got Home Beta invite so been going back to the Ps3 a bit more recently too

The wii we just bring out when people come over as they usually want a game on wii sports, and it allows me to play plenty of retro and keep my gamecube collection too!

[Hotwax]

PSP baby! (As well as 360, PC, PS3, and Genesis, which is sitting in the corner of my room, rotting)

[tsunamidog]

I play my 360 pretty often. i havent touched my wii in months, and i havent touched my PSP in years, along with my good ole sega genesis. (but god the genesis is fun!)

[geoff-uk]

I will play any console, as long as I know its not a failure like the Atari Jaguar or the infamous Gizmondo. I mostly play the PS3, so I voted for that.

[Orky]

Sadly, I do not own a PC, and have yet to even see one in real life :(.

- Orky

[Harb40]

I use the XBox360 and the PC. I also have a Commodore 64 but need a disk drive.

[Afro-Dude]

I voted Wii, DS, PSP, PC and retro consles.

My Wii is on repair, for the moment...:angry:
But before it broke, I played Call of Duty: World At War, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Lost Templars Director's Cut, MadWorld, Dr. Mario and Tetris Party.
On the Wii Virtual console I played the Megaman-games, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros. and Super Mario RPG.

On my DS I play Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon.

On PSP I have no other game than Final Fantasy VII.

On PC I play The Movies and Sam And Max: Hit the Road.

I also have my good ol' GameCube, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Entertainment System.

On GC I play Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest.

On N64 I play Banjo Tooie... a lot. Also Pokémon Stadium 2 and Jet Force Gemini.

On GBA I play Pokémon Blue Version.

I don't really play on my NES a lot, since I only have four games on it (Batman: Return of the Joker, Lion King, Boat Duel and The Adventures In The Magical Kingdom).

In conclusion, I play a lot of games. :001_tongue:
