My 5 favorite video game systems of all time!

The title says it all, heres the list.

5. Playstation 2- I can’t think of any system with as much quality and quantity of great games. I just bought my second PS2 and I have enjoyed some of the more resent games to come out like God Of War and Shadow of the Colossus. Some of my favorite games on the console are ico, Resident Evil 4, and of course GTA3.

4. NES- I was born in 88′ so when I got into games it was the 16bit era. This was the first console I ever had and I all I played was Super Mario Bros, that was it, no other game.

3. Sega Genesis- This is my favorite toy from my childhood. I had so many great games on the Genesis like Streets of Rage, Maximum Carnage, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and all of the great sports games. I had this console for the longest of any and I still play the roms of the games I have on my computer, seeing how my Genesis is MIA.

2. Xbox/Xbox 360- I bought the orginal Xbox with my first few paychecks or of my first job. At the time I didn’t have enough for a game so all I had was a console and a demo disk from Wal Mart. The orginal Xbox was my system of choice because of Shenmue 2 coming to it. I also loved NFL Fever, Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic, Jade Empire, ESPN 2K5, and Halo 1 and 2. Of course I traded that Xbox in for the 360 and the trend of great games followed with Halo 3, Mass Effect, and I hope Fable 2.

1. Of course the greatest console ever is the Sega Dreamcast. With games like Shenmue, NFL 2k, NBA 2k, Crazy Taxi, Soul Caliber, Daytona USA, Sega Bass Fishing, and Sonic Adventure I still have my Dreamcast hooked up to the TV, and yes I still play it. I have had to much fun with games over the years it would be hard for me to throw it away or even put it up in the closet. One of the saddest days for me was the day Sega stopped supporting it.

So whats your favorite video game systems? Whats the worst one you ever had?

A Perfect Gift for the Old School Gamer

So do you have a family member who isn’t exactly up to date with video games but still loves to play the classics? Then the Atari Flashback 2.0 is for that perfect person.

The system comes with two paddles and preloaded with over 30 classic games like Pong. Not only that but it also comes with a wood finish that resembles the original look of the classic system. I just bought this for my Grandfather for Christmas and I feel that everyone else in my family will be playing it as well.

So if this doesn’t bring back memories for you or if you have never played the Atari this gift is worth picking up. Its a gift for a person of any age and should be greatly appreciated.

Now Is The Time To Get An Xbox 360

Microsoft announced that the new Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Elites will contain two free games with each system, so what two games you might ask? Halo 3 and Mass Effect? Err no the two games you get are Forza Motorsportâ„¢ 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Now neither one of these games are bad by any means but they are not exactly killer apps. This is a good move on Microsoft part to boost sales this holiday and with a line up of Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, and we all hope Assassin’s Creed makes it for the holidays.Many experts are saying the Xbox 360 might finish third, or tied with Sony as the Wii continues to outsell everything, this Holiday season but they might surprise some people with its lower prices and strong line up of games. So for $349.99 for a Xbox 360 and $449.99 for the Elite version the Xbox 360 is a real steal this holiday season.

Halo DS?

Yes there was a game at one time called Halo DS for, of course, the Nintendo DS. This is the only footage of the game and it is courtesy of IGN. The game was canceled for reasons unknown to us and it looks like it will never come out, Duke Nukem Forever anyone?, The video shows a multilayer map and looks and feels just like Halo for the Xbox.

Cavemen in Halo 3? I Found A Secret, Folks!

Cavemen in Halo

I found this just walking around in the first level of Halo 3 the other day, not sure if anyone else has done this yet. On the first level after you re-enter the jungle when you see the snipers its on the left side where one of the snipers are located.
