I like the PS3 best - but have the XBox 360 as well and it's cool.

My current favorite console right now is the 30 with the Wii being a close second. There are no good games for the PS3 and won't be until the summer when MGS4 comes out, so mine is currently collecting a lot of dust. :(

I do not have a favorite game of all time, but games I have really enjoyed in the past five-six years have been.

KOTOR
God of War
Gears of War
Resident Evil 4
FF X

I'll be honest, and say that although I have the game I have just not had enough time to play it. Especially since my recent promotion, I spend most of my life at work now more so than before. I need to start that game soon.

It depends on what I'm in the mood for. Currently, I'm playing the crap out of Rainbow 6 Vegas for the 360. Personally, I liked it a whole lot better than Gears of War. Now I'm not saying GOW was a bad game, but I'm more of a tactical realistic shooter type of guy.

FFXII, I thought was fun. It took me a while to get used to the whole gambit system. But once you got the gist of it, the game plays like a dream. Fights move by quickly so it isn't tiring, and lvling up isn't so bad anymore. The story has got to be one of the best stories I've experienced in the FF series. However, I didn't like the traveling system in it. Just beware though, the game is LONG. I bought the game since released, and haven't beaten it yet due to time constraints. But I'm already clocking in about 60+ hours. But then again, some of the puzzles really stumped me. I suck at puzzles.

My little brother brought his 360 over to my place not too long ago, and we played Rainbow 6 Vegas split-screen on my plasma. While I can't say that it's realistic it's definitely entertaining. Being able to play with another live human being in the same room made it much more interesting than relying on an AI team.

By realistic, I meant the weaponry. I enjoy playing video games that use real world weapons. Which pretty much means, I enjoy almost any Tom Clancy game there is.

All-time favorite: Stunt Track Racer on the Commodore 64 ;) I also still enjoy a bout in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! on the original NES.

As far as the current batch of games? I'm a huge Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty-series fan.

Nice ToddG. I'm not too familiar with gun laws, but I'm assuming that commando is semi-auto?
I can't shoot guns to save my life.
I'm more of an archery type of guy. It's the Mongolian in me.
