i refuse to own a 360... ever. now when i can play 360 games on a computer that would cost me less to build, have better stats and no red ring of death to worry about. Sure, they'll fix your system, but not the game it destroys in the process... and then you have to pay to play online???
Not to mention, it's also made by Microsoft. I hate that company. -_-; Aside from all the software theft they do from small companies, they now, again, are trying to stop the spread of Linux - currently it's about Android. Not trying to put down the mood of those enjoying some Xbox 360 games, though; just saying...
I haven't been playing games much, recently, but I still keep buying the good games for when I do feel like playing them, and I've been doing far better, the past two and a half years, and keep continuing to do better, so soon I will have a lot of games to enjoy. Currently, I'm playing a really great adventure game called Another Code: A Journey into Lost Memories, for the Wii. That game has not been released in the US, unfortunately, and now the company Cing, that is behind it, has gone bankrupt. -_- Almost always happens to the best developers. For my Nintendo DS, the next game I'm likely going to play will be the first game in the lawyer simulator series Phoenix Wright. I don't have a PS3, but I should be getting one, soon - I've already bought Tekken 6 for it, as I found the arcade stick package very cheap. I heard that you can play a Swedish guy in that version, too.
I doubt he speaks Swedish, though...
Due to my severe lack of having played games, recently, I also have the MMO game Guild Wars, plus its two extra scenarios and the expansion, but I have not played it, yet, but it seems very nice. Generally, though, there are almost no PC games that I'd ever buy, nowadays - today, most PC games are loaded with malware such as SecuROM, require you to be connected to the Internet, constantly, despite it not being an Internet game - merely so the publishers can check up on you. If you lose your connection and keep playing, your save files may be deleted as a punishment (a method that Ubisoft and EA use). They sometimes require you to uninstall burning programs, and you seldom even get the whole game on the disc you bought - if it uses STEAM or Impulse, it requires you to register and download the rest from the net. You also seldom buy the PC games, anymore - if the game uses those mentioned "services", you pay the full price for it, but you still merely rent it - if you sell it, afterwards, the buyer will find that it's unplayable. It's amazing, they are acting even worse than the record industry did, and keep blaming piracy for the decline in sales - look where that brought that industry. The fact is that piracy hasn't gone anywhere, and it's only the paying customers that will be treated like in some 1984 society. -_-; Nowadays, if you want to get PC games, you have to do extensive reseach to make sure that they don't use this crap, and very few games are without at least some of this, today. Unfortunately, all this leads to that games without any of it will end up unnoticed - missed because those who don't tolerate this don't know what can actually be bought. Anyway... end of rant. Anyone knows of some list that is kept updated, of PC games without this? The only recent game I know, right now, is The Witcher.
I have many older systems, too... especially Game Boy systems - I enjoy portable games, even though I don't bring them with me. My favourite regular console is the Dreamcast. I have most good and semi-good games for it. Honestly, the Wii is great, too - it has far more good games for it than many realize. I'm currently looking quite forward to The Last Story, led by the creator of Final Fantasy, and with the music composed by ex-Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. No word yet on a release outside of Japan, though... if that doesn't happen, it'd be a disgrace.
Anyone here who also loves Mario Party, by the way? They have to be my favourite kinds of games. A real shame that only one Mario Party has been released for the Wii, so far, though. -_- Mario Kart is very fun, too, of course... overall, though, my favourite kinds of games unquestionably are adventure games, that unfortunately aren't all that common, nowadays. Bishôjo games can be real nice, too, although they generally are a sort of adventure games, as well.
Damn this became long. Am in a rather talkative mood, it appears. I'll stop writing, now.
