Sex: A good amount of it ........errr...I mean Male

Top 5 games this gen: Mass Effect, MGS4, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 1, and Left 4 Dead/Street Fighter 4 (tied for 5th)

Fav System: 360 by a hair. Many of my friends and family own one so I can game with people I know, I love how everything is intergrated within the games (Custom soundtracks, cross chat, party system). I love what my PS3 offers me as well (unique games via PSN, especially Fat Princess) but I just am more comfortable gaming on the 360.

Thought on this Gen: Pretty damn good. I've enjoyed plently of exclusives (MGS4, Uncharted, Gears), awesome multiplats (Batman, Burnout, Bioshock, Left4Dead), great downloadable titles (Fat Princess, Shadow Complex, Trash Panic) and even had the honor of playing some horrific titles (Blitz: The League 2, Matt Hazard, Wet). All in all, I'm satisfied. And the future looks just as bright. Really don't see how you could be a fanboy this gen when there is so much gaming goodness out there.

Thoughts on this gen:

This gen has been good, not as many great games as the previous gen though. But with such games as Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid 4, Fallout 3, etc it has been pretty sweet. It is one of those gens where you have to own all the consoles to actually get the most out of it, unlike last gen where owning the PS2 basically had most people happy.

Thoughts: This gen hasn't surpassed last gen in terms of quality titles among each consoles, sure you have games like Halo 3 and Gears of War for the 360, or Uncharted 2 and Demon Souls for the PS3, or SMG and Brawl for the Wii, but as great as all these titles are, they don't stand up to the heavy hitters that the consoles had last gen. Though this gen isn't over yet, so who's to say that it can't all change? :)

Favorite system this gen: PS3-- though I own no other this gen

Thoughts-

As a single console owner this gen, things go much slower for me. I regret to know that I am missing out on Halo 3, Gears of War, etc. and I think this gen is really telling of how competitive and how important it is to own each console. The market is tough, the competition is fierce, and the fanboys are rabid/mad/crazy/whatever else. Though the PS3 initially was a dissapointment, I have come to appreciate the amazing library and the outlook of Sony's courage to produce new and often daring IPs (LittleBigPlanet). Possibly, the most biggest change for me this generation is online play. This is the first generation I have gamed online from a console. Though I did buy a network adaptor fairly late for my PS2, I never really used it as much and PS2 Online was incredibly confusing to use.experiences of being a gamer that keep me delighted and enthralled. Walking amongst the Village in Uncharted 2. Being the last man alive on my team in a Search and Destroy game in Call of Duty. Seeing the sheer chaos of Killzone 2's battlefields. Awing at the calculator level in LittleBigPlanet. This gen has been a blast, online gaming has been a staple, and though there are a few downs (rabid fanboys, exclusives I wont be playing, costs), I am thoroughly enjoying this generation. I do wish to acquire more single-player games as I absolutely loved them last generation (Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, San Andreas to name a few). Though I am a little dissapointed with how expensive this gen is turning out, its the games and the

Favorite System this gen: PC

Thoughts: PC gamers are getting more and more punished for their gaming prefference with constant delays, cancellations, less major exclusives etc. All in all, it kinda sucked being a PC gamer this gen.

Well, I'll just share my comparatively limited gaming experience (I don't own a PS3 or Xbox 360, unfortunately):

Top 5 Games this gen (favourites from what I played in no particular order):

- Super Mario Galaxy

- Mario Kart Wii

- Rune Factory Frontier

- Mario And Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

- Yoshi's Island DS

Favourite System: DS

Thoughts on this gen: For all the innovations the new generation has brought, games like the aforementioned Yoshi's Island DS and WiiWare (which I still have to check out) just go to show that there's still a lot of room for old-school gaming and that sometimes, simple is better. The retro throwbacks I believe will be a big part in what makes this generation stand out, and at times, I actually found myself more interested in the WiiWare games over the retail games. The DS is of course, fantastic in bringing old and new together, and that's why I ranked it as my favourite system.

TESIV: Oblivion

RSV2

Valkyria Chronicles

Dead Space

Fallout 3

Demon's Souls

Favorite Platform: PS3 inches ahead of PC

Thoughts:

I've enjoyed this gen a ton, there have been awesome games for all platforms this year and I've had never been on a shortage of games to play. In fact I still have a backlog of games and with another packed winter of gaming this gen I've experienced some of the best gaming this gen. And whether its the best yet I have no clue. But its a great time to be a gamer and regardless of what console you own or what platform you favor there is some awesome gaming experience for you out there. And looking at what 2010 has in store for us gaming doesn't look like its getting any weaker but stronger as we go along.

oh, and I'll throw a bone at LBP, which i forgot to put in my list :P

Fav System: PS3

Thoughts: The Wii really surprised me this gen. After it failed to meet my expectations and i regretted my purchase, i bought a ps3, but doing so actually made me appreciate the wii for what is was: something different. Suddenly, it wasn't about technical graphics or achievements, it was just about gameplay. In a gen where the ps3 and the 360 are moving closer and closer to being exactly like the PC, it was a nice refresher every once in awhile, brought me back to my SNES/Ps1-2 days. Otherwise, great generation we've been having, for every console, including handhelds.

This gen has been amazing. All the old schoolers and the internet 1337 think this gen has been a disaster, but they clearly don't know how to have fun and seek only to whine and complain because the very few people they know outside of the internet don't care. I think gaming has reaches its Golden Age with this gen.

Top 5 (here we go trying to remember again, somehow these usually change overtime):

1. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

2. Lego Indiana Jones (Wii)

3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

4. Dragon Ball: Origins (DS)

5. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (DS)

Favorite System: Hmm, between the Wii and DS. I'll go with Wii because of Virtual Console and having backwards compatibility for Gamecube games. Not to mention you can have quite a bit of fun if you look past the shovelware.

Thoughts on this gen: I really like it and somehow I want it to last longer than previous gens did. The big three show off a bunch of great stuff on their consoles, even though I play mostly Ninty's systems. I do play PS360 games sometimes, mainly with friends.

Thoughts:

I've been pretty satisfied. There are a few genres that are still lacking a little (horror, RPGs) and a few that have been over-saturated (FPS, shooters in general) but overall it's been good, with a pretty consistent supply of great games on offer. Competition seems to be a little stiffer too, with a wider range of decent games across all the platforms rather than just bunched up on one console.

Thoughts:

Gaming is becoming more expensive.. So I'd say I'm disappointed with what it had to offer in return from all the cash I've burnt. Single player games are shorter, online multiplayer is becoming the emphasis in EVERY game. It's losing it's charm.

Thoughts;

I haven't been a big fan of the rts this generation, or else they'd probably be number one. My favorite system is the PC of course, and my favorite console would be the Xbox 360. The main reason I chose the 360 over the PS3 (Which is my opinion) is the achievements to be honest. They seem to have a bigger impact to me rather then the trophies. I also tend to replay games more on the 360. Friends have a big impact on which games I buy on certain consoles as well.

5) Ratchet and Clank Future: tools of destruction ( i brought a crack in time today didn't try it yet)

FAV: PS3

this gen is pretty much recycle of previous gen with better graphics, Some games has been strip down like gta4, meaning they are less good then previous versions. Too many shooters and too many been there done that, not enough originality

But there is still some gem this gen, it's not a bad gen but i just feel like most games give a been there done that impression, it only looks better

This gen has been the one where I've been behind the most when it comes to video games(especially consoles). But then again, it hasn't really called out to me that much.

Anyway, my favorites probably boils down to 3, because even though I've played my share of games on every platform, I still found them difficult to place.

1.Stalker SoC(pc)

2.Orange Box(pc)

3.Mirror's Edge(pc)

Those are the 3 that comes to mind without much struggle. All played on pc... so... let's spice things a little bit.

Some exclusives on other platforms I enjoyed playing:

Xbox360:

. Ninja Gaiden 2(played the original on Xbox recently and I didn't see much to be dissapointed about when it comes to the second, it was pretty decent. Though that might be because I didn't finish the Black version?).

. Dead Rising

. Gears of War 2(I enjoyed the first one more when it came to single player and I didn't bother to play this one online)

. Actually enjoyed Bullet Witch when it came out.

PS3: Still want to play a lot of titles it has to offer.

. Metal Gear Solid 4(though was dissapointed)

. Uncharted(still to play Uncharted 2)

. Heavenly Sword

. Enjoyed my playtime of Folklore(add Valkyria to the list of exclusive RPG's that I'm interested in the console, plus Demon's souls)

Wii:

among a few others

. Metroid Prime

. Galaxy

. No More Heroes

. Zack and Wiki

Best console this gen? A year ago might have said 360(and I probably did here), but I'm not so sure of that anymore. Best platform though, I would probably say the PC, though lately it has definitely had the weakest lineup imo. Let's hope next year it picks up, but as of now I'm seeing very little that doesn't have the name Blizzard on it(to some that might be enough... but not to me).

What I think of this gen? Not bad, but nothing spectacular either so far. It still has quite a few titles down the road that I'm excited about, but as of now it has been a bit of a dissapointment. Hasn't offered much gems outside of the mainstream audience, and the sequels and spiritual successors that attract said audience have mostly been dissapointments in relation to earlier titles for me.

Ohh yeah forgot about handhelds(which I think have been quite decent this gen) but I'm not in the mood to put that(lazy).

5. Zelda:Twilight princess (not sure if this counts)

favorite system: DS.

So far this gen has been solid between the big three...although Nintendo needs to lay off the casual stuff and Microsoft need to work on getting better exclusives. It's amazing how much sony turned around compared to how they were during 2006/2007.

Top 5 (No order and excluding handhelds):

1. Super Mario Galaxy.
2. Uncharted 2.
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Yes, it came out for the Wii first, which is this generation).
4. Uncharted 1.
5.Wii Sports Resort (It wasn't that good of a game, but it's just so amazingly fun. I can't wait until they make more games with the Wii Motion Plus).

This generation has been great. Personally, I think the DS is dominating all three consoles. It took me a few minutes to put together that list, but I could have made on for the DS in no time.

Pretty much this entire list will change in 2010.

Edit: [Prediciting - Who knows? Maybe they will all flop].

1. Super Mario Galaxy.
