Thought it was about time we had game thread were you can put your views on what console is best, review on the latest games, challenge people, list your top scores and so on.
I started off with a Spectrum then an Atari then came a big step up in gaming with the Play Station followed by the PS2. Then came poker so I stopped playing until the Wii came along which got my appetite back but the Wii is ok for kids or party games but if you are going to play games like COD, F1 then you need a better machine so I invested in a PS3 mainly to play one game F1.
PS3 v XBOX
The two main consoles out there are the PS3 and XBOX, so which is the best? I stuck with the PS3 simple because I am used to it plus it has got Blue ray and it's free to go online with it.
F1 IS THE NUTS
The best racing game I have been on, but now with it being online to it's just gone up another gear. The F1 games have always been one of my favourite games since I was able to hold a joy stick, but now Codemasters are doing them it's even better. The graphics, the game play, the sound, full race or 3 lap race you can set your own difficulty and have a career mode. In other words simple the best racing game. Unless you know better?
If anybody fancy's a game let me know.

Lol, I thought this was spam when I read the thread title, and was about to wave the ban stick...
I"m not a gamer, can"t keep up with all this new fangled technology, but I used to enjoy Sonic on some game console I can"t remember the name of.
I always liked Tetris, is that still available on the consoles of today...?

Sinclair ZX Spectrum is not on your list Wayne...?

I"ll get the wee man to respond. It"s for kidz innit ;D
-
Atari - (Hold unofficial world record for River Raid!)
Spectrum 128 (+2).. Football Director best game
Then the x-box
Then got Wii (agree, kids and party games, although I play F1 on it which is superb)
Then Xbox360 and just brought the kinect for xmas with it too. A maze ing bit of kit. :o
Son plays Assasin Creed on it, which looks superb, but I can"t get near it at the moment! ::)
As I"ve only being in a household that has Xbox, I can"t compare with PS3, other than what I have heard that for gaming Xbox, but for family entertainment system then PS3.

If you have it on the Wii (i also did) then the PS3 and i would presum XBOX is 10 times better

Microsoft have taken things to a new level with the introduction of Kinect for Xbox.
Sony or Nintendo systems aren"t even close in this regard.
Before Kinect, you have to admire Nintendo for increasing their market share through the new concept of the Wii. Many people now have Wii + PS or Wii + XBox.

Been a gamer since a kid, my first computer being a Vic 20! Then moved on to the Speccy. Used to program on them both which is why i"m now a Software Engineer.
Currently do my gaming on a PS3. Choice between that comes down to the games you like more than anything. For me the PS3 exclusives are far better than the 360 ones and i also get to watch blu-rays, can now get my lovefilm subscription through there along with Vidzone for free music vids and various other things. It"s certainly not just a family entertainment system. I use mine mostly for gaming and the games i play generallly aren"t ones i"d want kids playing! And i definitely wouldn"t want them watching my movie collection!
The old PS3/360 argument will go on and now we have Kinect/Move there"s a whole new argument but there"s not a vast amount of difference between the two and can"t agree with Stu that they"re not even close (although the Wii tech is very different). The tech is very similar and each has its plusses and minuses. Personally i have no real interest in either as all the games so far are rubbish compared to normal games, plus i"m a lazy git and have no interest in standing in my living room pretending to run/jump and waving my arms about when i can lay in my pants on the sofa with a controller and a beer by my side! And just so you know, i do the same when playing online poker too. Lol. :o ;)

Think I grew out of games a while ago - now prefer to play online poker if I have time to spare. That said, FIFA 2011 on the Wii is pretty decent - if only I could beat the kids, but no chance of that. Oh, and still love a bash at Mario Kart every now and then - the kids can"t touch me on that!
There are three PS2s around the house, and over 200 games, but the only stuff that gets played on it now is Buzz and Singstar when we have dinner parties.
Wii Fit+ is probably the "game" I use most now.

Xbox -- The xbox is a console for a gamer who wants to play online properly with friends and on various games and this seems to be the view of many people. The online costs around £40 but it is worth the cost as you get many different services with xbox live
PS3 -- The PS3 is usually bought by the "Part-time" gamer that the main selling point is not the games but the perks that you get with it (Blue ray) but with the free online some people would rather not pay more money to play online.
Wii -- The Wii is a fun console but cannot be used for serious games although nintendo believe that it can seens as it brings out big console games such as FIFA and COD (awful on Wii)
PC -- IMO the PC is good for games such as World of Warcraft, SIMS and Football manager games if you just like playing a casual PC game or you can play the more serious titles such as Counter Strike and other games like that but the PC is where most of the cheats are seen as it is easier to MOD a PC game
I have an XBOX and i wouldn"t sell or trade it in for a PS3 although my favourite game is on it (Metal Gear Solid) My gamertag is Destroyer3i6 if you wanna play some games online

See told you it was for kidz innit (http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/dontask.gif)

Kids - YES All us big kids LOL
Been playing on consoles since the atari came out , was always a sony fan until my son wanted the XBOX 360
Now can"t get enough, only play on Call of Duty games ( AWESOME )
Just no comparison with PS2 - Best console out there ( Wii great for the kids )

Which is best debate depends on what games you want to play. If you like what I call kids/party games then the new Kinect on the XBOX is the place to be. But if you are looking for FPS or racing games then you have to go with PS3 mainly because of all the extras you get with it.

Very few people i know with a PS3 are "part-time" gamers. I bought mine to play games as did the majority of them. The blu-ray player is great but certainly not the main selling point. Free online is excellent.
Anybody with a PS3 looking for a good forum - go to www.sofaracing.com/ps3qq (http://www.sofaracing.com/ps3qq)
Great if you"re looking to chat about games or organise online games.

from 1983 a little snippet of what gamers looked like, ben todd and darren now all jointly own an arcade down by the pier at skegness.. sadly only 6 months after this show ben developed a twitch in his index finger cutting short his video gaming career, todd never got over the humiliation of coming 2nd and never played competitively ever again, darren lost all his hair only a year or so later, after being taunted about his resemblance to kojak by his peers at numerous other gaming events this was to scar him for life, hiding away like a hermit embarrassed by his cue ball appearance, he did once try make a comeback sporting a rather nice afro wig, it slipped off whilst playing rather vigorously at daley thompson decathlon, his stark white bonce was widely circulated throughout the press and darren"s complex got worse, he has never ventured out of his bedroom at the b+b in skeggie since...
