PS3 - X-Box 360 - Nintendo Revolution

:laughing: This whole thread is just so funny.

I had a PS2, was unimpressed, and it's the first console I've sold since my Mk1 Master System.  I bought an XBox on launch day, and it still works fine now and I'm often pleasantly surprised by the quality of new games, I also have a Gamecube (though I'm on the 2nd one of those).  I don't own any 'backed up' or copied games for any of them.

While the XBox's graphics are technically better, there's plenty of Gamecube games that are simply more fun to play (I've not found this on PS2, the outstanding games on which are usually ported to other platforms).  GT4 on PS2 is good, but the trackside graphics are so poor, Forza Motorsport also feels more realistic too (when you switch off the driver aids), I was considering buying another PS2 just to play it, until I tried it out for myself.

Supporting MS, Sony, Nintendo, EA or Apple is supporting a company that has tried devious methods to crush others, and all work the system to extract money from the public rather than earning their income by providing genuinely worthwile products.  Anybody who lives in the Western world can't help supporting greedy self-serving scum - that what capitalism is all about, lol.

In short - all the current and future games consoles will suck in some way, arguing over which is better is like arguing over why Marmite tastes (or does not taste) nice.  Anyone who likes console type games will buy something from the next generation, and then pointlessly argue about why its better.

Well, in my opinion, at his prime Mohammed Ali was way better than Diet Coke ...

I'm with Donny on this one, I bow to your eloquent response dude :-)

Where's all this revolutionary AI we hear so much about?

This is where Halo 2 shines, my son and I have played the whole thing through about 6 times (about 10 hours to complete once if you don't rush).  

Depending on how you behave there's a series of different behaviour you get from the enemies and your own troops - the differences between the difficulty settings are just increasing enemy intelligence, and at the higher levels the buggers lure you into traps, hide in the shadows if they see / hear you coming etc.

I'm still not bored with it ...

Anyway, there's lots of games that are bodges, too short, lack vision etc.  The classics are the ones where each time you play something different happens, and you notice new things :-)
