Mainly a Sega collector/gamer but i have a healthy interest in quite a few other consoles. Big N64 fan, especially Goldeneye, which i spent most of my youth playing while i should have been at school. Also a big fan of the PS2, just finished TimeSplitters 3, great game, although i'm probably biased being a fan of the teams work.
I haven't ventured into the current gen market yet, i play all 3 on a regular basis but haven't seen anything so far that has made me go "Wow, i need one of them". I will probably go for the PS3 eventually, mainly because i've enjoyed playing some of the series' on PS2, and Gran Turismo looks very nice.
heh, only just spotted this so thought i'd better say a proper hello!
I'm director of research for an internet security company, and we do a lot of work with law enforcement across the globe to shut down / expose / make life hell for cyber criminals, paedophile groups, hackers, adware pushers etc. i speak about a lot of the research at security conferences, and i tend to annoy a lot of bad guys out there so the territory comes with the odd death threat, hassle and various other bits of grief. before i got into net security, i was working in the arts and did everything from painting canvases to waving a stick at a few orchestras. for anyone interested in net security, you can see a list of security related stuff i've done here.
if it wasn't for games and computers, i'd probably not have had the technical skills to get into security in the first place (I have no IT qualifications, but spent a lot of time learning how to program extremely bad text based adventure games as a kid!)
so i have a decent rebuttal whenever someone tells me playing games is "a waste of time"
I am a videogame enthusiast since I was 6, and a big Nintendo fan. I have a Wii, a GC, a DS, a Gameboy Color, a Mega Drive and a computer, of course. Nonetheless, the DS and the computer will be my only gaming systems soon, as I will move to the UK in order to study at the University of Manchester.
Lately I have been playing mostly Pikmin 2 and Viewtiful Joe 2, although they disappointed me a little bit when comparing to the first ones.
In terms of favourite genres... I like good games.
I own a PS2, Xbox and a PSP. Oh and a Cube and DC which are both tucked away. Big into my J-RPGs. Final Fantasy(12 in particular), Chrono, Xenosaga and so on.
Also into FIFA for some bizarre reason as im a die hard PES fan but FIFA is just better this year.
Some of my fav titles are....
Chrono Cross
FF12
Tobal No 1
Rez
Axelay
Super Metroid
FF8
