im a WoW player atm but my favorite mmo was always shadowbane...the pvp in that game was just so godly. fav platform game tho would have to be smash bros for gamecube... a great community for the game too

I like RPGs, but I am not much for the MMOs. I find it sad that most games these days are based off multiplayer. I wish they could just start a new game series that has a story line. Thats why I love Half Life.

I stick to my PC.
There is software that allows PCs to play any game system's game as long as it is on a DVD or CD so game system does not matter since my PC specs are in excess of what the best game systems have to offer.

My preferred games are:
DOOM I II and III
Duke Nukem 1 2 and 3D (I love the classics as well!)
X Wing vs. TIE Fighter
Heroes of Might and Magic 1 2 and 3
Civilization III
Baulder's Gate
Diablo
Pacific Fighter

I use DOS BOX to play old DOS games on my PC like Duke Nukem.
I also like the arcade classics like Dig Dug, Xevious, Star Castle, Defender, Tempest, Centipede, ETC.

I'm not exactly impressed with SPORE. It has room for improvement so I am not completely unimpressed with it. It is too high priced and seems derivative of some off beat games I found on majorgeeks.com.

Yes, you have touched appon my first game. Actually thats a good wuestion now, what is the first game you ever played, and at what age. Mine was Doom95 at age four. Best game ever. I've been on FPSs ever since. lol

Generally, I gravitate toward anything that has a unique idea and executes it well.

I'm not talking about almost all first person shooters, most of which implement the same boring run-and-gun technique. The only exceptions to that rule are Bioshock and Condemned. One of the reasons I liked Condemned is that you get guns so seldom that it comes to be a fun novelty to blow someone's head off an the rare occasion you do. That's why I didn't like Condemned 2 as much, they went overboard with the guns thing and in effect lost some of the horror of the first game. But I'm rambling.

I'm also not talking about racing games in which the object is basically to drive around in circles ad nauseum.

RPGs that have me invest a ridiculous amount of time to character development are also a no-no.

And sports games when I don't even like most sports.

My main attraction in games is something that is both "different" and funny. Or either one or the other. I also like puzzle games. To me the most attractive aspect of any game is the artistic look, which is why some of the more "cartoony" games tend to catch my eye.

I own an xbox and an xbox 360 with almost forty games between the two. Some of my favorites are Fable 2, Fable Lost Chapters, Overlord, Psychonauts and Assassin's Creed.

I am currently a WoW addict, which will slow down during the summer. I also enjoy playing Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Mortal Kombat. I have other games on console, PS3, but none really keep my attention.

I prefer Crysis, best FPS I've played in years. The Crytek game engine has such awesome rendering, everything in the game has a very real appearance to it.
But I like to play it online, nothing like sniping some one from a half mile away!
I only play PC games though, the AI on gaming consoles is far to limited. PC AIs have better adaption abilities.

I guess I forgot to add that I am a Starshatter fanatic as well. I love the game because not only is a 3D spac simulation ranging from fighters up to dreadnaughts and stations, but it is also moddable, and that's one of my hobbies, making mods for the game. I am currently working on a Starblazers mod for the game, and me and my partner are just about done.
