I would buy a system for 1 or 2 good games. Money does not concern me.

There are plenty of good games on the 360 comming that's not the problam. The problam is that there are much more comming to the PS3 that I want and much less comming to the Wii.

So, the PS3 will be getting more and more play time in my home.

One big difference in the PS3 list is it has a lot of games that aren't just rehashes of games I've already played.

In that category I would put Afrika which I have wanted to play from the first time I saw it. My favorite movie/TV show of all time is the Planet Earth Blu Ray series so being able to go around a high def safari of Africa sounds great to me. Some say "whats the point if you can't shoot stuff" The point is I don't have 6000 dollars for a safari but I do have 60 dollars and a PS3, next best thing from the looks of it.

Same goes for LittleBigPlanet which looks like the most interesting original game to come out in years. The only one more excited about it then me is my wife, which is weird because she almost never is a fan of any console gaming at all.

Aquanauts is a lot like Africa but underwater, I still want to play it but am not quite as excited about it as Afrika.

Your point is the PS3 has games that aren't rehashes and you named Afrika and Aquanauts as examples? Afrika is Pokemon Snap with real animals. Aquanauts is either a remake or a sequel to a game called Aquantaut's Holiday for the PSOne and is also similiar to a recent Wii release called Endless Ocean. You could have at least used Little Big Planet as your example.

 

   Even if you say that Afrika is just pokemon snap (though I would contend that just because both have a camera does not mean they are the same in any way, thats like saying that Call of Duty 4 is just a duck hunt clone because both involve a gun) and aquanauts is identical to a PS1 version you are still going back over a decade to find a similar game.  They are still very unique among current generation games.  There's a new shooter every other week and a new action RPG every other month (if not more often lately).  I did use Little Big Planet incidentally right below the other two.

   Also when it comes to experience games like Afrika graphics matter a lot in terms of the immersion effect.  There has never been anything close to a photorealistic game of that type.  Its not like the PS3 doesn't get the weekly releases of the common game types, they just get unique gaming experiences too that add needed variety.

 

 

 Then you can also agree to the fact that 360 games too are not just rehashes as well?(Especially since half of them are totally new IPs) And if they are, would you like to tell the class what games they are all rehashes of?

 

   What game are you talking about?  Gears of War which is yet another 3rd person shooter (a genre that has been around for over a decade now)?  Fable which is yet another action RPG (which also has been around over a decade esp on the PC)?  I can't think of any 360 games offhand that aren't rehashes of very common genres.  There also aren't many new IPs for the 360 that I can think of.  Mass Effect, Viva Pinata and...?

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

This is sad. This is sad and embarrassing.

@Impulsivity

U got it spot on, Mass Effect and Viva Pinata are the only 2 new franchises that come to my mind of late for the 360.

The 3 biggest 360 releases this comming season; Fable 2, Banjo Kazui NB, Gears 2 all sequels and nothing really Different. I will still buy these tho.

Now this made me giggle.  I'll give you LBP as totally not being a rehash, but lets look at all the other games you mentioned in your post:

  • Arika (or Hakuna Matata lol) - This game in HD
  • Aquanauts - So it's not a rehash but it's basically Afrika (or Hakuna Matata lol)?  I admit, I really know nothing about this game but have you ever heard of Endless Ocean?  They sound a lot alike, kind of like Afrika (or Hakuna Matata lol) under water.
  • MAG - Quality does not equal quantity.  I have the funny feeling this is going to be Battlefield with more people.  Woohoo.
  • Motorstorm - franchise
  • Killzone 2 - franchise
  • Gran Turismo - franchise
  • God of War 3 - franchise
  • Tekken 6 - franchise
  • FFXIII - franchise
  • Singstar - franchise

Yeah, those games all look so original.  :-p

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of those are bad, I'm just saying think before you type.

-edit-

And so I don't invite the wrath of Zen, I understand some of those really aren't rehashes.  I probably should have talked more about originality than used the word rehash.  Oh well.

Hakuna Matata, lol.
