My XboxLive profile lists more, but these are XboxLive Arcade demo downloads I don't actually own.

Hey Yamiiguy - Interesting Xbox/360 list. From that list which are mainly RPGs I think you would love Oblivion. Probably get it on the PS3 though, as the 360 version tends to crash a bit on my 360 due to disc read errors (there's a long and complex reason for this, which I won't go into). I loved this game so much I rebought it again so I could play it on the PS3 without the occasional disc read error.

Unfortunately, after several years of excess, I'm having to be a little wiser with my money these days, so I only have 3 games on order.

Alan Wake (360) - this looks amazing, but it's anybody's guess when this will actually be out. I've had it on order for over 12 months now, and still no firm release date is in sight. This will hopefully fulfil my Silent Hill-esque cravings.

Mass Effect (360) - it was a toss up between this and Bioshock, and I opted for this. This too looks amazing and promises more gameplay than Bioshock. A there's a whole star system to explore!

Simpsons' Game (PS3) - well, its the Simpsons. Isn't there supposed to be 6 hours of speech recorded for this or something? It looks insteresting and fun, which is what games should be, even if its not deep. And sometimes it good to have games that you can complete without major traumas (which I suspect this will be). That said, if the 360 version ends up superior, this will be the last cross-platform game where I opt for the PS3 version.

You can see which 360 games I played last via my handy little Xbox Live signiture image (although some of the icons are so small, you probably won't be able to tell what they are - but you can click on it for a webpage displaying the titles, and when they were last played - as well as my "pathetic" achievment points for each).

And now a little rant: With XboxLive Arcade, the PlaystationStore and Nintendo's Virtual Console, it appears the days of the retro game compilation are over. This is a huge loss - some of my favourite games on the PS2 and Xbox 1 are retro packs - Taito put out two stunning packs, and Capcom likewise. Now most retrogames are released as downloads the excitement has gone. There's nothing like buying a retro pack and excitedly trying out games included in the package you haven't played before!

I was thinking about waiting until the Game of the Year edition which is out....*checks* today I'll probably wait until after Halo 3

I just bought my 360 last week. I only got Madden for it so far, but the next few months are gonna have me spending crazy amount of money. NBA 2k8, Guitar Hero III, SVR 2008, Rock Band. *sigh*

[littlefuzzy]

I've got about 800 video games on various systems (32 at last count, including about 6 where I have some games, but no system...)

I have been gaming since the early days... I started with a Colecovision & Atari 2600 Adaptor, although I sold thiem off to buy Christmas presents one year. After that, I started with the NES (which I still have,) and went on from there. I stupidly sold off only one other system, and that was my Sega Genesis, CD, Master System converter, and all the games! I have replaced the system, and found a Master System converter, but no Sega CD yet...

Currently, I am playing my PS2 & Nintendo DS Lite (also GBA games,) but I still enjoy other systems.

Right now, I am in the middle of Rogue Galaxy, God Hand, and Chulip (all on the PS2.)

I took a break from Rogue Galaxy for God Hand, and then I picked up this strange little game called Chulip, so I have been playing it! Basically, it is a dating sim?/adventure game, you want to kiss the girl of your dreams but you have to strengthen your heart first by kissing the other residents of the town...

Nice lists everyone! (Yes, I actually did bother to read through some of them!!)

I used to like playing videogames. I still do, but I just don't have time. I have a PS2. I used to have a PSone, but I gave it to my brother since I now don't need it as my PS2 runs PSone software.

Mind you, I told him to take good care of it because it's now 10 years old, and I'm proud to say, still works perfectly. Since PSone and PS2 software is so expensive, here in Malta almost everyone mods his PlayStation so that it can read pirated software. The number of original games I own is very meagre:

PSone

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Z
Little Big Adventure
Lost Vikings 2
Tomb Raider
Soviet Strike
International Track and Field
Disney's Action Game featuring Hercules
Final Fantasy VII

PS2

Gran Turismo 4: The Real Driving Simulator
Theme Park World
Smuggler's Run
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

My original PSone games were all bought in 97 and 98, and most are Platinum discs (translation: lower prices). Gran Turismo 4 came bundled with my PS2 in 2005. It even has written "Not to be sold seperately" on the cover art. Theme Park World was given away by the shop with my PS2. Unfortunatey it was shop soiled: the disc was a bit scratched, the case rather beat up, and the manual a bit creased. And the disc holder in the case was broken, so the game CD (yes, CD, not DVD) rattles about in the case.

Actually calling that "shop-soiled" is a compliment. That screams "second-hand"!!!

[DarthPrime]

Currently I have a small Gamecube/Wii collection. I also have a N64 that never gets used. In the past I have owned the following systems, however I have sold or gotten rid (the system died) of all of them but a few Nintendo systems...

Atari 2600 (Sold to buy 7800)
Atari 7800 (Eventually died)
NES (Eventually died)
SNES (Eventually died)
Gameboy (The original one... Sold)
Playstation (Traded for XBox)
N64 (Still have)
Dreamcast (Traded for XBox)
XBox (Had a launch model with the DVD Drive and Power Supply issues. Got rid of it.)
Gamecube (Still have 2 Gamecube systems)
Wii (Got a few months ago, so I still have it.)

Planning to add a Playstation 3 sometime in a few months.

My NES and SNES were in storage and when I went to play them a few years ago they no longer worked. I have no clue what happened to them. I guess they hated being in storage. Anyway I miss the NES and SNES the most, and I wished I had never traded the Dreamcast in. That was a great system, that because of several things never got off to a great start.
