Forums - Gaming - Having an affair

Come on, we're human, we have weaknesses and desires. Where our eyes wander, we can be inclined to let our hands follow. But it doesn't mean we love them less if we have a casual fling with another, right?

As fanboys, we all love our system of choice, but admit it, there are just a few games out there for the other guys that are tempting you. Maybe it's the looks, maybe it's the intense multiplayer possibilities, or maybe it's just that perfect motion it uses, but we all have our reasons for wanting a little taste of what the other one has to offer.

It doesn't reflect badly on you or your console, so even if it was just a one time thing with no commitment, if you didn't even have to purchase the system, maybe just a rental or borrowing off of a friend, what games have made you tempted to stray from your own console, even if just for a bit?

Since I'm a Wii/DS guy, I'll include the single most tempting game from each of teh other consoles:

PS3: Little Big Planet

PSP: Crush

360: Mass Effect (even this is kinda weak, but it's come the closest on the 360 to interesting me in any way)

 

So what about you?



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

A little while ago, around summertime, my thoughts slowly strayed to a 360. Good fps's while I still have the wii for the awesome games to come. I totally had gears of war on my mind then, but I didn't have the money. Good thing too... It probably would have broke by now...



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

I'm a playstation 3 fan, of course. However, there are games I want for every console, and that's why I bought every console.

The most tempting:

360: Ninja Gaiden 2

Wii: There arn't really alot of gams for it. Zelda I guess, although I already have the game.

Playstation 3: This is hard. White Knight Story.

Nintendo DS: Those Digimon RPG's.

PSP: Megaman powered up.



I'm not really a handheld person, I dedicate most of my time to consoles. The DS has some intriguing and unique games, and whenever I babysit my nephews, I will take the oldest's DS, and he, along with his brother, will play the PS3, 360, PC, or bring along a few games to play on the Wii.

The Phantom Hourglass, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Contra 4, Mario Kart DS, and there are a few more that I have forgotten but I really, really enjoyed.



I just realised there actually isn't anything.

Does this make me a fanboy? What does it make me?



Around the Network

GT5, god of war 3 and banjo 3 are the only non wii/ds games that tempt me.



Bah, this thread disappointed me. I was gonna start on how I tease the friends that like me and such :P

I like Little Big Planet, but I don't see it as a BIG reason to buy the PS3. So far I haven't seen anything that gets me to say "I WILL BUY THE SYSTEM" on the other two. Anything I could want is on Wii/PC. No, not even DS.



FF4 on the DS
b/c it's the only system i don't have.



tempted by FFXIII on the PS3 but then again, I haven't finish XII so maybe I only like the hype and previews, not the actual game.



Xbox360: Mass Effect, Viva Piñata
PS3: Time Crisis
PSP: Patapon

These are the only games that really interest me at all on other consoles
