Your Platforms and FAVOURITE GAMES on each of them!

• My iMac arrive before consoles in matter of playing time :
(BG 1&2 games ; IWD ; Civilization Demo for musics and athmosphere ; the immortal Civ II ; Civ III ; Age Of Empires I & II games ; Diablo II ; etc ...),

... but thereafter, my consoles :

• PS2 mainly, widely ahead,
(Ultra-excellent game DRAKAN-The-Ancient-Gates™ ; the excellent Summoners I and, at top, II ! ; the 3 "pseudo-BG" games : DarkAlliance I & II, + Champions-Of-Norrath ; and sometimes several silly games as Dark-Chronicle, etc ...).

• The old (but VERY vaillant !) console Nintendo 64, where I am playing :
the marvellous ZELDA Ocarina of Time™ , (and sometimes ZELDA Majora's Mask) ; games as Pilot Wings, which relax a lot any man ! ; and fight between 2 planes, with my concubine, in an option of LYLAT-Wars™.

• Note : I have the Nintendo games Cube, but I never play to it , since I am blocked in Gods Towers, and I never found an other game to play with than ZELDA-WindWaker (except the chieldish Star-Fox).

• Then, at end, the too big console XBox360, where I NEVER play,
... since I HATE the game for which I have bought it :
NOTE : [ I HATE Elder Scrolls series, and, in particular, OBLIVION, a "Game Without Soul" , (as someone described it in a Amazon.com report) , and I regret near-every-coin I have put into this game, and into the very expensive console XBox360.
[ Only positive point for me, in Oblivion, is to buy and equip (mainly by telekinesis for small items) several houses. Ppfff ! ].

• What a pity ! I don't own the old PLAIN "Xbox" console, and a EXCELLENT game that I have played numerous times in Swiss, in holidays, in the home of one of my 2 best friends : that game is :
<< ARX FATALIS >> , and is near-as-good as Drakan, without dragon, but with cool diamond-like teleport-zones, and much more !!! Play it ! (you can play it on your PCs, but for me, I cannot : the game don't run on Apple computers, and neither in new XBox360, alas).

 

Buy yourself Dead Rising for your 360. Trust me, I'm a doctor

 

I am not surprised you have often toothache, Daie d'Malkin. The wicked are always punished ! ... and doctors are in Europe, pity for you !

PC. Enough said. It's difficult for me to nominate favourite games as the modern ones stand on a completely different level from those I played when I was younger. There's just no comparison between Prince of Persia and NWN. In the modern times, the favourites would be the BG saga, NWN, maybe the IWD saga, probably Fallouts, MM6, maybe MM7. I liked Emperor: Battle for Dune for the gameplay, but what they did to the story and characters was just not right (Duke Leto Atreides who was specifically named a Greek and a descendant of Agemnon and whose facial features were described in the book IIRC couldn't possibly be black in the book but they still replaced him with a black Duke Achilles Atreides probably for the sake of political correctness ). Crusader Kings seem to be high on the list too. Had a lot of fun with Morrowind as well.

 

I've got...

My trusty laptop - hard to choose a favorite game here. I'll just say Planescape: Torment 'cause it's freaking awesome.
GameCube - my favorite here would be the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. If I had to describe the game in one word, it'd be "beautiful"
PlayStation 2 - I don't think I can name a favorite here. I've had lots of fun with lots of games, but I guess Dynasty Warriors 3 gave me the most fun. Wasted away a summer on this bad boy with a friend of mine.
Xbox 360 - definitely Dead Rising. Mmmm, zombies.
Nintendo DS - my favorite is without question Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Hilarity on top of a great story makes for a great game.
SNES - Donkey Kong Country is the only game I have for it anymore
Sega Genesis - I absolutely love Rock 'N Roll Racing. Just the right combination of racing and carnage.
Nintendo 64 - it's either Ocarina of Time or Starfox 64. I can't choose, they're both fantastic.

 

I won't bother mentioning my various Nintendo systems, since I stopped using them years ago.

PC: One from each genre should do, I think

-Fallout 2 (not as 'omfg awesome' as PS:T the first time through, but stands up better to repeated playing)
-Half-Life 2 (immersion for the win)
-Supreme Commander (Beta; it's still quite possibly the best RTS I've played)
-Combat Mission: Afrika Corps (your one-stop-shop for uncompromisingly realistic WWII combat)
-IL-2/Forgotten Battles (uncompromising realism, solid graphics, customizability = awesome)
-Nascar Racing 2003 Season (Newbie friendly, but still at the forefront of realism)
-Jagged Alliance 2 (beats out X-Com for best turn-based squad battle game I've played)

 

NES: Castlevania, Super Mario Bro.
SNES: Super Mario World, FF 6, Ogre Battle Saga & Tactics Ogre, Chrono Trigger
SEGA Saturn: Dark Stalker & Vampire Savior, Dragon Force 1 & 2, The King of Fighters 95 & 96, Guardian Heroes, Langrisser 3

...eh? What?

 

— OK, Daie d'Malkin, I want believe that, for THAT time, your thoughts were pure ...

But, without laugh, let me clear my position :
horror-type movies or games, Resident Evil-like, or your "Dead Rising" have not even ONE chance to be bought by me !

I don't like that stuff.
As I have exposed several times in some forums, I don't like Elder Quests either, and I value for nothing the long hours I have spent in the silly dungeons of that soulless game, Oblivion. But, there is ONE thing that I have learn in these dungeons :
I don't be interested by zombies, NO ; nor normal zombies, and neither headless zombies.

At any times. In any places !
