It's obvious that americans and the japanese have different taste of games. Ever since I bought my first PS console, back in 1999, most of the games I had were childish and funny (but then again, great) games, like Crash Bandicoot or Tombi Tomba. And so it goes on with the PS2 (Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank). Microsoft has a lot more serious opus in games- sandbox crime games (GTA, Just Cause, Mafia), race simulations, fighting games, shooters, RPG-s... Although I love those childish PS games, once you try GTA IV or Mass Effect, you can't get rid of it. Comment and give me your opinion about your favorite games for both of the consoles! Expect my list soon! :D
