What system is getting the lion's share of your time right now? and what different systems do you own?

My house has a Wii, PS3, and PS2 that are all active. The PS2 is only for import games and the PS3 is the only one getting any plat at all right now.

My Wii has been collecting dust ever since the Smash scene died down.

In the house we have:
Xbox 360
two regular Xboxes(one barely works)
Two PS2's(one is mine, the other my dad's)
a GBA
Nintendo Wii
N64
Sega Genesis
Dreamcast(YAY!)

But the majority of my time the past few days has been on NBA Jam(HE'S ON FIRE!!) for Genesis and KOTOR II for Xbox.

my house has the PS3(actually gets used as a media center more than a game system.)

two ps2's-one set up to play discs...okay ff12 is the only thing i play on it. The other has a busted dvd laser so is used solely for bootlegs/dl's off a hd.

Does my computer count? emulators are fun and let me relive old games without breaking the bank.

I have a GBA around here somewhere...

the wife wants a wii...i havn't gotten around to getting it yet.
she also wants a psp

Mostly shooting evil, bloodthirsty, liberty- hating mutated monsters on my PS3- Good I love Resistance can't wait to get R2.
I'm looking forward to being able to slaughter Gods on it next. God of War3 takes like forever.

Gamecube, xbox, and ps2 are the only ones I still have hooked up. I've only been playing my DS these past few days though.

Wii
PSP
DS Lite
A still-with-the-living-somehow SNES (Which I will now name Abe Vigoda)
And if you include it, my PC.

Currently, my PSP is getting a lot of attention, what with the PlayStation Store having recently come to PSP.

Right now, my Wii and PC are getting all the game time, Wii for De Blob and PC for Fallout 3.

However had you asked this question 2 weeks ago the answer would have been the PS2 - for Dragonball Z Infinite World.

However the gf powers on the Gamecube for Animal Crossing near every day, and my DS usually gets at least 2 hours play on it a day as well.

And come the school Holidays the N64 will get it's summer workout, the kids love the original Smash Brothers more than the new one for Wii.

I play my DS Lite from time to time but the game system I'm playing on most right now is my laptop( if you could call it a game system).

We have a Wii, two 360's, a PS2, X-box, DS, Gamecube, SNES, N64, Dreamcast.

The thing thats been taking most of the time is the 360, since there is really nothing coming out for the PS2 and still can't afford a PS3 at the moment.

Mon Dec 08, 2008 11:54 pm

my 360's getting most of my time now, but that's mostly because I recently got it and I've been adding mostly 360 games to my library.

Tue Dec 09, 2008 5:12 am

probably just PS3 more than anything. I have a DS that I'm kinda bored of and a Wii that I'm definitely bored of! The PS3 gets plenty of love even when I'm not gaming due to its built in Blu-ray playback.

PS2, Wii and Genesis are the only ones hooked up at the moment. The Wii has been getting the most play lately for Animal Crossing, otherwise it's been mostly collecting dust since the summer.

I've been jumping between a couple games for the PS2: Rock Band, The Red Star and FFXII, but I'm taking an extended break from that one. Not a big fan of Final Fantasy in general.

Last night I swapped out Super Street Fighter 2 for Streets of Rage 2 on my Genesis. I have an official Capcom fighting stick, but I'm afraid I'll end up with carpal tunnel if I keep resting my wrists on the gamepad.

One 360, one N64 and one SNES. 360 obviously gets most of my attention, but I did throw in Star Fox 64 and Mega Man X last month for the Hell of it.

Being away at uni I don't have any game consoles with me. So all I seem to do is play starcraft on battlenet.

I've been told that the Wii and the Ds' we own have been collecting dust since the summer. There just aren't enough good games out at the moment, especially on the DS.

The Wii will be getting a lot of attention again now though, what with rockband coming to our living room this christmas. Plus, there are a few Wii titles I'm looking to pick up, so it'll be getting plenty of love.

Also buying a 360 in the new year. That'll be getting constant love, as it'll be staying with me at uni.

What about Chrono Trigger? Or Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia? Or Final Fantasy IV?

Well he is right, there aren't that many good games out for the DS.

Sure there's Chrono Trigger, whenever it comes out, but it's easy to get a ROM of, and if you're lucky you can get it on the SNES and play it the way it was meant to be played.

as for FF IV, it's boring.

However, Dragon Quest 4 should be coming out soon, and that will rock.

He said recently, and I just mad a list of a few recent games. I could make the list bigger.

Chrono Trigger DS came out last month. November 25 was the US release date.

While I agree the DS is an awesome system for RPG's I really don't feel like playing RPG's right now. I will admit when I got mine as a christmas present last year at first I was blown away with it, now I'm bored of all my games, and there seems to be nothing that interests me enough to buy it.

I'd have gotetn it already, but I'm probably going to get it for Christmas, and I go by the saying "Why buy the cow when you can get someone else to buy it for you?"

And don't forget the TF: Animated DS game is out now too!

It didn't get the world's best reviews. I wouldn't recommend it. Let's face it, as far as TF games have a very poor track record.

I found Transformers Armada to be fairly playable.

There itself is the problem and its solution. Being in the UK those titles most likely aren't out yet. However, they will be soon enough!

I also admit that my gaming tastes are rather narrow-minded. I'm not one to go crazy and try a game I've never played before (hence my huge pile of mario, zelda and metroid games

).

That does remind me. I need to pick up the orange box when I get a 360...

Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:20 am

I need to get metroid prime hunters then i might like my DS again!

I'm something of an obscurist myself and tend to avoid the big-budget mega-blockbusters... but since picking up DS a few years ago, I've reacquainted myself with the classic Nintendo standbys. It helps that we've come to expect a certain level of quality from them (unlike SEGA these days... post-SA2 Sonic, yelch).
