MM, what is it about those games that appeal to you? What experiences in particular do you seek out when you play games?

For me, it's Wii. Nintendo games are the only console games that offer an experience that I can't get on PC.

amen to that.

For me, it's Xbox 360.
The best variety of games, the biggest HD library (I'm only gaming in HD, sorry for the Wii)

My PS3 is not often used.


The games you cannot miss on the 360 (IN MY OPINION):

• Viva Pinata 1 & 2
• Halo 3 + Halo ODST
• Crackdown
• Lost Odyssey
• Forza 3
• Blue Dragon
• Star Ocean 4
• Kameo: Elements of Power
• Gears of War 1 & 2
• The Last Remnant
• Fable 2
• Left 4 Dead
• Magna Carta 2
• Halo Wars
• Mass Effect

and so many great XBLA exclusives (Rez HD, Uno Rush, Shadow Complex, Portal:Still Alive, and so on...)


The games you cannot miss on the PS3 (IN MY OPINION):

• Uncharted 1 & 2
• MGS4
• Singstar PS3 (yes, far better than Lips (I own both))
• GT5 Prologue
• Demon's Souls
• Little Big Planet

and that's about it.

Neoraf: What draws you to those experiences in particular?

Hm.  Well, I definitely have a preference for third person action games, particularly those with strong adventure elements.  The Zelda series and Okami are really tough to beat.  I like games that involve decent third person combat, a sense of exploration, and some decently challenging puzzles nicely incorporated into the overworld.  A nice story to get me through the game is a plus as well, and can make a more scripted, linear experience (Uncharted 2, MGS4) equally as enjoyable as a more open ended adventure (Zelda, Okami, Demon's Souls, and looking back to past generations, Shadow of the Colossus, more Zelda - hell, even Mario titles would fit in here, despite being predominantly platformers).

As such, I'm sure titles like the Last Guardian, God of War III, and the inevitable Zelda Wii will be topping my list soon.

Aside from third person action games, a fun multiplayer experience can really pull me in.  LittleBigPlanet is arguably the best multiplayer experience this gen, with its easy drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, and a wealth of nigh infinite content to mess around in with your friends, and Mario Kart is up there for me as well.  Super Smash Bros., while not being quite as addictive as its predecessor, is still great fun, and I probably would've forgotten Killzone 2 shortly after it came out had I not gotten hooked on the objective-based multiplayer (I have a thing for games like that and Battlefield lol).  Similarly, New Super Mario Bros. will probably be the next big thing on the multipalyer front, though I wish it had online multiplayer like the others I've mentioned.

Edit:

For reference, my top 15 or so console titles of all time are as follows (I ignored PC because RTS games would dominate the list xD):

1. The Ocarina of Time
2. Majora's Mask
3. Twilight Princess
4. The Wind Waker (this and TP switch depending on my mood)
5. LittleBigPlanet
6. Okami
7. Metal Gear Solid 3
8. Metal Gear Solid 4
9. Metal Gear Solid
10. Metal Gear Solid 2
11. Shadow of the Colossus
12. Ico
13. Super Mario 64
14. Super Mario Sunshine
15. Mario Kart 64
16. Super Mario Bros. 3 (best 2D Mario!)
17. Demon's Souls  (not sure how long this one will stay this high, but I have beaten the game three times already, a feat only matched by OoT!)
18. Mario Kart Wii...

...and I'm stopping here.  I've hit a paradox.  In the end I think I enjoyed Uncharted 2 more than MGS4, yet it I can't imagine placing Uncharted 2 higher than most of those titles, but I have no qualms about placing MGS4 in my top ten along with the other MGSes.  [Edit 2: Ah!  Same applies to Demon's Souls!]  Not to mention the order near the end there was getting pretty grey anyhow.

*head explodes*

But yeah, given what I've said, and given both lists I've made, I think it's clear what my general tastes are.

@ makingmusic476

You never finished inFamous?? If that's the case, you need, and i do mean NEED, to find the energy to go back and finish it!

Khuutra, your avatar is freaky...It reminds me of my sister.

On a more serious note I prefer the PS3's library of games because the games appeal to me more than the other two systems. Some of my favourite games are:

Killzone 2
MGS4
Resistance 1+2
Uncharted 1+2
Fat Princess
Ratchet and Clank

There are also games like GoW3 and GT5 that I look forward to.

Obviously the Wii.

Reading the posts for this thread made me realize how stupid it was.

The wii. best games, best value, and most fun. yay!
