There's a lot of trash talk around here from fanboys who likes to marginalise any competitions to their chosen console, so I thought I'd start a thread acknowledging some of the great games on or coming to the system I don't own and want to play, mayhaps others can chime in and those with more than one current gen box to their name can share their perspective.

Technically I have access to all three home console (in one house) but I am a firm believer in ownership and if I like a game I generally buy it and not rent even if its consider short or lacks replay value.

 

Xbox360:

Ninja Gaiden II: Having enjoyed sigma, this is one of the first 360 that I truly wish I could purchase, the combination of great graphic, good gameplay, ridiculous gore and freakin ninja! (who doesn't like ninja??) is a sure fire winner in my book.

Gears of War 2: I got the first game on PC and thought it was great, its not my personal style of game but the production value and visceral appeal is fantastic, another nugget of gold.

Tale of Vesperia: I love cell-shading! Add amazing gameplay and great story and you have one of the best JRPG of this generation. The only JRPG released on the 360 that I really want.

Star Ocean 4: Oh man! If anything can make me fork out for another system it's probably this. I really hope SE port this over the PS3 as this is the one game sure to make me jealous and envious of every 360 owners.

Fable 2: It got me at multiple wives and STD, hilarous and fun and top notch game.

 

Wii:

Monster Hunter Trii: Its Monster Hunter and while not HD its graphic is certainly still very very nice. Add online functionality and you've sold me for sure.

Tale of Symphonia 2: Not as exciting as the 360 exclusive Vesperia imo but still an attractive game that I would purchase on day 1 if I had a wii.

Mario Kart: I had so much fun with the original SNES and N64 version that I cannot imagine this game being anything less that awesome if they stick to the same formula

Zelda: TP: Its Zelda! Not having this while owning a wii is like eating hotdog without ketchup and mustard.

From the above I think its obvious that I am a PS3 owner and fan, while I have no regret in my system of choice I think that as a gamer, you do yourself a diservice to dismiss a game base on its platform.
