Sega Genesis: B+
So many great memories, including my favorite game of all time. However, my gaming diet was quite limited (Sonic, Sonic, and erm... more Sonic.) but still, some of the best gaming moments I've ever had.

N64: A
The Nintendo 64 was a haven for platformer junkies like myself. With titles such as Mario, Banjo, and Donkey Kong, It was a match made in heaven. Also, the jump to 3D and 4 player multiplayer wowed me like never before. Kudos to other titles like Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros.

GameCube: A-
The GameCube allowed all of my Nintendo fantasies to come true, well, most of them (I'm looking at you Assault). With titles such as Prime and Wind Waker holding the 1st party fort and Time Splitters and Resident Evil 4 holding down the 3rd party base, life was pretty good.

Wii: A-
The Wii is the perfect console for me right now. Now that college has taken over my life I've been having less and less time than ever before. However, Wii has plenty of games that are extremely fun from the start. And if I do find myself with a weekend to spare, there are excellent games for that as well. I'm really finding myself having a lot of fun with Wii, and it can only get better from here. Right?

DS: B-
I've been using this handheld less and less as time goes on, but for what it's worth, there have been games that have stolen countless hours from my life (It's a love/hate relationship with Diamond). When Sonic Chronicles and Order of Eclesia comes out, that'll be my first DS purchase since buying Phantom Hourglass one year ago.

GBA: B
This is where I've caught up with the past Mario's, Zelda's, Metroid's, and other titles re-released from the SNES to the GBA. And this is where my love for Castlevania (or Metroidvania, whatever you prefer to call it) began as well. Some great moments on this handheld, but nothing really special.

PC: B
I've never prioritized PC gaming, and because of that, I've always been playing catch up. I've always gotten a game a year or two after it was released, and by that time, the next great installment was out. In fact, the only game I was on top of was WarCraft III, and I definitely had a great time with that one. Once again, my PC diet isn't very healthy, it's pretty much been Crafts and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Still, these are some great games and I'm happy I was able to play them.
