I would play Star Wars: The Old Republic, and other PC games, as well as go back and play on my PS3 and 360. I will also laugh at those who seem to believe that playing on PC makes you a smarter and superior person in this world. Be a TRUE gamer and enjoy everything.

What is that one game that you feel everyone should play before they die?

For me, I feel everyone should play Final Fantasy IX before they die. That is the only game to me that is PERFECT. I have not found a single flaw in that game. The characters fit perfectly into their world and gave a sense that they belonged their. To me the world was true fantasy, which I feel should be a requirement for a game titled Final FANTASY. I see why Hironobu Sakaguchi has said that FFIX was his favourite of the series. The game took everything that made previous Final Fantasy games great and cranked it up to 11. The game was funny, intriguing, sad, intense and full of moments that I will never forget (Airships vs. Silver Dragons anyone?) Critics have said that the music wasn't up to par with what Nobuo Uematsu had done before but I disagree. The music fit with the atmosphere and characters. Final Fantasy IX is a game I can play an infinite number of times, and still be astonished by the quality. I know the story inside and out, yet I still can't wait to see what happens at every turn when I play. To me, that is only something a timeless game can do.

Well that's mine, what is yours? Due to this being System Wars, I expect some harsh disagreements and verbal tirades due to someone having a different opinion of your own. Don't let me down.

I find that the controls add a sense of struggle to the game. When you are climbing on the back of a colossus you shouldn't be able to just easily climb up, the collosi are shaking you left and right to knock you off. The only complaint I have about the game is the camera, which is pretty bad. Other than that, the game is incredible, just finished the 4th colossus.

Because graphics aren't everything. A game that run smoothly is.

I buy my games new however I am 100% for the used game market. If it wasn't for the used game market, finding previous gen games like Legend of Dragoon and Dragonball Z: Budokai 1, 2 and 3 (ya I liked them) would be incredibly difficult. Not to mention that those who don't have a lot of money rely on the used game market and I find that EVERYONE should be able to play games, not just those who have enough money to shell out for full priced games and limited editions.

Duke Nukem Forever. It was in limbo for so long and should have just stayed there.

This doesn't concern me at all. I will buy it, spend the 7 seconds inputting the code and then play the multiplayer. I don't agree with everyone getting all worked up over this. For me at least, I don't trade in games often. I still have Fall of Man and Resistance 2 and I won't be trading those in anytime soon. Secondly, the used game market I find doesn't really get you a great value. I found at the Gamestop near me that a new copy of White Knight Chronicles values at $50, while a used copy is $44, for an extra six bucks I don't think its too much to buy it new.

By that I mean what was one game you played that wasn't necessarily on your radar, but afterwards the game surprised you in how much of a quality game it is. For me that game is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I played Heavenly Sword and found it lacking so when I picked it up I wasn't expecting to get blown away. That changed when I saw how much care was placed in developing the characters, setting and story. I found it to be on par with some of the highest quality games available.

Thats my pick, what is yours?

Once they release a new XBOX they will slowly stop production. Thats what they did with the original XBOX and they stopped supporting it no more then a year after the 360 was released
