I liked driving games until I realized I couldn't drive a car on console games (or pc), the type of games I like only come available to PC, ie The Sims, Zoo Tycoon, you can't get those type of games for consoles. Consoles is like owning a big arcade, racing, etc. I would like to get a PS2 just to play the new Spyro games, but it seems silly to spend that much money for 1 or 2 games.

I grew up on PC games, not consoles, so maybe that's part of it too.

Spyro doesn't just come out on PS2, those games also come out on GC and Xbox for example and they're quite cheap; incidentally I found a Spyro game for $13 at Sam's Club...also you could buy a used GC for even $60 at EB games. And if it's new it comes with 2 free games (or 3, don't remember... and yes Spyro is on the deal).

You say that you can't afford a console but I think you can. Take for example the GC deal I just gave you, it costs the same as a PC game; and you can also buy a PS2 or Xbox used but not as cheap.

The hardest and more difficult task on buying a console it's the console itself since you have to spend (when they just come out) at least a copuple of hundreds. But once games start coming in great quantities you'll find a very nice variety and extremely affordable prices $20 or less for the Player's Choice selection.

PS

Also I'd believe that you must like platform games and on consoles that's where you'll find them most.

I never could get the hang of the, what do you call them... umm, the controllers on consoles, except for Spyro, lol.

I have a PS that I got years ago and I have the first 3 Spyro's, I know there are like 2 more out now, not sure if they are for GC or not.

Mostly i play The Sims 2, Nascar games and the Need For Speed games.

I have not played a pc game in a while, but my favorites were The Sims and Rollercoaster Tycoon series. I guess you can say I am really into sim games. I remember especially in the first Rollercoaster tycoon, I would make the rides crash and kill my guests (I would also kill them by picking them up and drowning them in lakes too).

Other PC games I am fond of are point-and-click games like the Monkey Island games, Sam & Max, and the Leisure Suit Larry games (yes, I am aware they are smut). In fact, Leisure Suit Larry 5 was one of the first games I remember to make me really laugh really hard.
