Hey there, gamers!

I made this topic very broad.. so anything to do with gaming period should remain within this topic..

To start off:

I have an Xbox 360(LIVE enabled) and a Wii.(Besides these, I have always loved a variety of PC games, to note a few: Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Warcraft 3, WoW)

I play on Xbox LIVE daily, I played Halo 3 up until I bought Call of Duty 4.. I can really only play one FPS at a time..

I recently rented The Orange Box(having yet to play Half-Life 2 prior) and it was really really really good.. Portal being the surprisingly fantastic of the quartet(HL2, HL2:Ep.1, HL2:Ep.2, and Team Fortress)

Recently, for my Wii, I bought Super Smash Bros: Brawl.. if you played either the original SSB or even "Melee" for the Gamecube.. then you will understand when I say that the game has not changed very much. This is not neccessarily a bad thing... as both previous SSBs have been really really fun, especially when playing with friends.

(I spent all my brain juice on creating topics for people to comment on.. hopefully there are some gamers within the DCTP community.. time to watch Conan ;))

EDIT: I'd be completly fabricating the truth if I didn't mention the fact that I've played FIFA on a daily basis for the past 2 years.. I am an AVID soccer fan.. worldwide.

Well.. I wouldn't call my self quite a gamer, yet... but... to join the topic

I have a Nintendo DS, Gamecube, and well I can't call it mine coz it's my brother's, but also a PS2. Other than that I have a REALLY old GBA.

I love playing Final Fantasy III and Animal Crossing: Wild World for DS (real stress buster) also love Mario Kart DS. FFIII has downright amazing graphics and I liked the game play.

I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy but I've only played a select few games because of availability where I live. I absolutely love Final Fantasy VII and its follow up movie, Advent Children (I'd like to talk personally with anyone who could argue that the graphics weren't AMAZING). Also liked Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus (the movie) and Last Order. My second fav. Final Fantasy game is FFVIII because it's the first one I ever played. FFX, FFX-2 and FFXII are all amazing, hands down. I'm thinking of actually getting my hands on FFXII: Revenant Wings for DS sometime soon.

On PS2 other than FFXII, I also like Devil May Cry 3 and the .hack games are okay, too.

I've only played FIFA 06 before but when I played it I was so hooked. FIFA pretty much rocks, I'll agree with you on your opinion 100%. I just haven't gotten the chance to hit many other FIFA games since then. Soccer is an awesome sport. Wish I could play it better...  :P

I love most Mario games if that counts for anything. My favorite of all time are: Mario Tennis for Gamecube and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

As for Computer games ... I will mention that Empire Earth is the BEST!!! Also, Age of Empires is pretty good. I like Star Wars so I loved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. First game better than the second, for me, though. Second fav. Star Wars is the really old, but enjoyable Galactic Battlegrounds. I was addicted to that game a few years ago. I'm also a fan of the really, really old Doom games

For the record, I've never played a Halo game  :P but I've always wanted to, a little.


Like I said not a great gamer.. I mean I'm still playing mostly Nintendo games like a little grade school kid but hey, they're fun!  ;)  I can hardly whip out my DS daily but I try. I still love gaming as elementary as the games I play may be.

Note: I think this topic should be in Media.. should it be moved?

I'm also a gamer but one who doesn't have time to do other stuff.

I have mostly all the systems except a gamecube.

I plan on getting the new Naruto ultimate ninja 3 next week for the ps2, just got house of the dead and super smash bros. for the wii.

Had Halo 3 ever since it first came out and my Xbox Live name is gohan0019. All the Devil may Cry games i have them and I think the third is the best.

I consider myself a pretty widespread gamer. Started out with a BBS system when I was quite young. My dad ran it.. and I played a lot of games on it for awhile. Then came games like Wolfenstein, Doom, and Duke. After that phase I moved to become a major RTS gamer.. I was obsessed with the C&C series. I started playing newer FPS's at that point like Half Life.. then eventually Counter Strike for a good several years. Then I started getting into MMOs.. first Dungeon Siege, then City of Heroes, then World of Warcraft. I'm just now getting over my WoW addiction.. that game messed me up for quite awhile. Talk about moving your social life to the Recycle Bin.

I've of course played consoles over the course of all the too. That was mostly just for side fun while playing PC games; which I predominantly preferred. I'm probably more of an Xbox fanboy than anything else but I do have PS1, PS2, GC, Wii, Dreamcast, N64, NES, SNES.. basically every system. I got a PSP but lost interest in it after I accidentally upgraded it and never bothered to downgrade again. If you want to add me on Xbox Live my GT is DeathStarrX  :P I don't play a lot anymore, but if I'm on I like to play Halo 3 and CoD4.

Ummmm... no... not even close to being in the same league as FF7 (FF:VII). I am a fairly confident in calling myself a gamer... even though I have not (and never will) invest in an XBox 360 (had an -360 but sold it... I don't trust Microsoft and don't care much for Halo... CS is pretty good though I don't play much anymore). I have basically every system either owned or emulated (I had a Genesis, Dreamcast, Atari, PS1, Super Nintendo/Nintendo, and GBA+SP until my house burned down last September! Now I have PS2, DS, and Wii). If anyone wants my Brawl/Friend code then PM me... I might add you (though I don't play the Wii as much as I should... and have played Brawl 2ce since I bought lol... too busy to leave my comp for a good amount of time and I usually play Guitar Hero). I have GH3 PC and PS2 and on the PC my S/N is Rashmere (if you wanna Pro-Faceoff Expert or Battle me on the PC them PM with S/N + Time (Eastern plz... or at least tell me your TZ or location so I can calculate it). I think my all-time favs. are Super Mario World, Any Legend of Zelda, Zero Wing (mention All You Base and I will respond with Someone Set Up Us the Bomb), Any Final Fantasy (though my fav. is of course VII), and Guitar Hero (because it rocks and it is more difficult than RB. It challenges you on more levels than Halo in my opinion, just because it is harder to master...). If you want me to find you any Non-ESA Protected games (like Zero Wing) PM me... I will delete all requests for ESA or pirated games... find them yourself or PM me somewhere else... not on this forum... repeated requests and I will report to Jd-. BTW... for everyone who plays Rockband... I pity you...
